This question seems to be related to the cygwin list entry entitled
Cygwin 1.7.1 missing startxwin.sh
see
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2010-02/msg00652.html
Today, I tried following the instructions on
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup-cygwin-x-installing.html
with the exception that I chose install for all the choices of the form
xorg-*
Looking at the documentation
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting
It appears that the program startxwin should have been installed.
When I execute the command
$ startxwin
I get the response
bash: startxwin: command not found
When I execute the command
$ find /usr -name 'startxwin*'
I get no response (no matches).
When I execute the command
uname -a
I get the response
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 R8-NF079_GHIHME 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686

It looks like you may have forgotten to install the xinit package. If
that doesn't solve your problem, you should resend your message to the
cygwin-xfree list, following the problem-reporting guidelines at
