Are you executing startxwin from a login shell? I use "\path\to\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/bash.exe -l -c /bin/startxwin.exe" and it works for me.

This sounds like it has nothing to do with startxwin. I can't reproduce this, but do any of the following help:
1) creating a ~/.startxwinrc containing just "xterm&"?
Same problem. No xterm.
2) changing that .startxwinrc to "run xterm"?
Pop-up: "Couldn't find xterm anywhere. I even looked in the PATH"
Same when I tried "run /usr/bin/xterm" (couldn't find /usr/bin/xterm anywhere etc.)
3) setting LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 ?
No change.
4) installing the font-daewoo-misc, font-isas-misc, and font-jis-misc packages?
Those fonts are already installed.
As I said, I have a desktop icon for starting an XTERM that works. It only "doesn't work" when trying to start the xterm from ~/.startxwinrc, or from the system tray.
