From within a mintty shell, I get:
$ startxwin
giving up.
startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

Sorry, I hadn't quite grasped that is the whole of the output.
For obscure technical reasons, the output of XWin doesn't appear in a cmd.exe
terminal if cygwin wasn't started with CYGWIN=tty.
Can I suggest you install mintty, and try running startxwin from that, which
should produce some more informative output.
It looks like Cygwin/X FAQ 2.4 could do with some improvement :-)
The server is never started - no process in the Windows Resource
Monitor. When I try to start xedit (or whatever X based app) nothing
happens, nothing appears.
As for FAQ, I'm afraid I don't see anything that might help. I looked
before I posted the original e-mail.

I just did a complete installation of X11 from Cygwin 1.7 setup.exe.
But when I try to start the XWin Server using the Start menu
nothing happens. If I try either startxwin or startx or xinit
from the BASH shell I get:
giving up.
startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X

startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Any suggestions?
Looking at the XWin.0.log you attached, it looks like the X server is
starting
up successfully.
If clients are unable to connect, this might be due to firewall
configuration
or other software which interferes with cygwin sockets (see [1] in the
Cygwin/X FAQ for some suggestions)
