Me too. I've removed all of Cygwin 1.7 and reinstalled build 2009-11-11
(Nov 17, getting the 1.2.0-1 version of xinit) and get the following
processes (after the install, double-clicking the XWin Server icon,
before
any reboot):
C:\cygwin\bin>ps

When I went to reboot, I got a message stating Cygwin Setup Post-Install
Script was still running. The processes I had were few and included
gtk-query-immodules-2.0.exe and bash.exe. Eventually I just forced it
to restart.

After restarting, to get rid of PID 4876, I tried this. It ran,
returned
to the prompt after a couple seconds. No window appeared. No errors
(e.g. the Missing charsets) appeared.

No. Brand new install, I checked the startxwin.bat, it isn't commented
out. I had tried the 'install extra fonts' work-around, that didn't
help. I'm not sure what to try next, or if it is a bug and I should go
back to 1.5 for now.
