By default, XWin 1.17 no longer listens on TCP sockets, only on unix
domain sockets.
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-06/msg3.html
However, "-nolisten local" disables unix domain sockets.,
So to use unix domain sockets:
XWin -nolock -multiwindow &
xterm -display :0.0
Or to keep using TCP sockets:
XWin -nolock -nolisten local -listen tcp -multiwindow &
xterm -display localhost:0.0
