I don't use X. I just use RXVT windows on top of the Windows Desktop. I don't use Cygwin's version of Gvim. I use the Windows version. To use Gvim from Cygwin, I have a small script (attached) that converts Cygwin paths to Windows paths and then launches Gvim. With this setup, I can use a single version of Gvim from both Windows and Cygwin. If you'd like more details, email me directly.
