FWIW, I've found that, under Vista, I have to run the Cygwin X server, bash shell, and xterm as Administrator for everything to work.

That's because startxwin with ~/.startxwinrc is for starting the X server in *multiwindow* mode. If you want to start an X desktop, you need to be using startx with ~/.xinitrc.
when trying to use a $HOME/.startxwinrc equivalent to the old startxwin.bat:
The old startxwin.bat served the same purpose and obviously did not start another window manager. You may have customized your copy at some point, but it was never shipped that way.
