This happens to me all the time - I usually have to launch the X stuff 2 or 3 times before it actually works.
I have to manually kill off all xterm.exe, bash.exe, and other cygwin programs in between the launches. I keep meaning to look into it more, but since I start it less than once a week, I haven't had enough incentive to dig deeper yet.
I guess I'm not alone. I've managed to solve this problem with the
following hack: I add a "pause" command to the end of startxwin.bat. I
forget why I tried this, but it works.
