Are you executing startxwin from a login shell? I use
"\path\to\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/bash.exe -l -c /bin/startxwin.exe"
and it works for me.

Yes, my startup folder shortcut is:

D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe

As I've said before, this works properly on my XP SP3 system at work, but not on my Windows 7 64-bit system at home.

This sounds like it has nothing to do with startxwin. I can't reproduce
this, but do any of the following help:

1) creating a ~/.startxwinrc containing just "xterm&"?

Same problem.  No xterm.

2) changing that .startxwinrc to "run xterm"?

Pop-up:  "Couldn't find xterm anywhere.  I even looked in the PATH"

Same when I tried "run /usr/bin/xterm" (couldn't find /usr/bin/xterm anywhere
etc.)

3) setting LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1 ?

No change.

4) installing the font-daewoo-misc, font-isas-misc, and font-jis-misc
packages?

Those fonts are already installed.

As I said, I have a desktop icon for starting an XTERM that works.  It only
"doesn't work" when trying to start the xterm from ~/.startxwinrc, or from the
system tray.
