 From within a mintty shell, I get:

That's odd. I can't really understand how that can happen. I'd suspect that startxwin is failing to fork/exec Xwin successfully, possibly due to an application causing cygwin difficulties [1] (Unfortunately, 64-bit Windows itself seems to sometimes cause similar problems)

Are you able to start the server directly by running 'XWin'?
