Problems with X, fonts, and clipboard module

I am not sure if this is the appropriate group, yet it has been the main resource for cygwin. In
addition, searching through these gmane newsgroups is not straightforward since Google groups do not
return them.

Startx failed to initialize when it had been working in the past. I ran setup and the process may
have not completed (it was late). After running setup.exe again, I navigated to the System category
and reinstalled rebase. Then I reviewed the README file; kill all processes associated with cygwin;
ran ash; and typed /bin/rebaseall -v; the utility performed some actions and returned without
errors.

I fired up a cygwin console and startx would still not initialize. The console gave me the following
font error.

sageQueue trapped WM_QUIT message, exiting main loop.
winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded.
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.


I have also removed the -clipboard and multiplewindows arguments from the startx script; it did not
help. The clipboard module is the main advantage of running X for me.  Startxwin.bat and starxwin.sh
do not launch Xwin either. Xwin should not conflicting with my firewall; since this system does not
have software firewall.

After reinstalling X and all fonts,  I  mounted the font path and still receive this error.

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from li
st!

The cygwin console appears fully functional. Please give me whatever insight you may have on these
scenarios. I have already spent two weeks troubleshooting these issues and need better guidance. I
can read the logs, but I am not familiar with the action necessary.
