Hence, to make Cygwin/X+xterm run out of the box (using
the start menu shortcut), you have to install the CJK fonts. One
more noob-question,

otoh, (discarding run-out-of-the-box, since that doesn't give a good solution),

What's wrong with it running out-of-the-box? For somebody new to Cygwin it's a positive experience when the "XWin Server" shortcut actually opens an xterm.

out-of-the-box apparently doesn't include the small fix to make it work
with Cygwin's configuration. (It wouldn't be in upstream since that would
potentially break other packages which can add localized menus, and there doesn't appear to be a programmatic way for xterm to decide if it should apply the workaround).
