Thank you Eliot for the mail attachment suggestion. I attach the output
here.
Thank you Ken for the "cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe" suggestion - the
output seems good to me and is attached. Starting from mintty did not work.
bash-3.2$ echo $DISPLAY
127.0.0.1:0.0
bash-3.2$ emacs
bash-3.2$ emacs-X11.exe
bash-3.2$ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
bash-3.2$ cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe > cygcheck_emacs.out
I have also tried running the Xming server in place of Cygwin/X. This
displays "xterm" ok. but emacs-X11.exe fails silently in the same way.
