I've tried to install Cygwin/X several time over the last two months and
always it only installed Cygwin, no X at all. "startxwin not found" and
nothing relevant in /usr/bin.
The problem was that the Default setting of the installer
http://cygwin.com/setup.exe for the X11 package is "Skip".
So when you've stepped through the intaller to the "Select Packages"
screen, click X11 and set it to "Install".
