The log doesn't have any obvious errors, but I've tried googling the
most error-message-like lines (so far without any luck).
I tried googling "xorg.conf is not supported" and found
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27526938/x-does-not-start-after-cygwin-upgrade
(title was promising but this is from 2014 and probably irrelevant)
I tried googling "Returning, supported engines 00000005" and found
https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/cygwin/2015-09/msg00084.html
(title also promising, but from 2015 and probably irrelevant as well)
Is the problem that I'm using xlaunch? From the version number it looks
like it is from 2016? Has the world change enough that it now longer
works for launching x?
What does people use to launch cygwin X these days?
