With

    Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "gb"

in the config the logfile has

(--) Setting autorepeat to delay=250, rate=15
(--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000809" (00000809) 
(--) Using preset keyboard for "English (United Kingdom)" (809), type 
"4"
Rules = "xfree86" Model = "pc105" Layout = "gb" Variant = "(null)" 
Options = "(null)"
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

I've just Googled for

"Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap"

and in newsgroups and it looks like the problem is very very common
and possibly not specific to the cygwin port of xfree86. So I am not 
alone.

As I said the config file thing worked on a fairly (few month old)
release of cygwin X.
