- I have the same problem here, on 2 Cygwin v1.7.x / Windows XP prof.
  computer.

- I reverted back to vim-7.2/gvim-7.2 to avoid that problem.


P.S.: Hope that this problem will be resolved one day.

Interesting.

I can start X in fullscreen without problems using the same options.

Are you sure that removing -fullscreen allows the X server to start properly?
 This kind of failure (invoking xkbcomp) is usually caused by BLODA or rebase
problems preventing xkbcomp from being spawned.  It would be unusual for that
to only occur with certain options, but I guess it is possible.

e.g. in your 2nd desktop, start X (however you do that) with :1, and then use
xterm -display :1 to connect to it.

Probably not, it crashes in the same way for me.

This is very like a problem in gvim or one of the GNOME libraries it depends
upon, which can't be fixed in the X server.

Interestingly 'gdb --args gvim -f' doesn't show the problem (so gvim -f might
be a work around).  Attaching to a running gvim with gdb --pid= and then
provoking the crash gives the following backtrace

You might try reverting to previous versions of gvim or GNOME libraries to try
to narrow down where the problem was introduced.
