Forgot to check that, but I guess it was installed, because it works now. Thanx!
Re: xinit: The application has failed to start because cygfreetype-6.dll was not found.
Steinar, You need the libfreetype26 package, which is gotten by selecting the freetype2 package. It should have been automatically selected, but it looks like it wasn't in your case. Also, make sure that you have the fontconfig package (it auto-selects libfontconfig0).

There should not be an application that requires cygfreetype-9.dll in the default script. Have you modified your script? Yes. I've added two xterms doing an ssh -X into linux boxes I always work on, and there is a sleep between each xterm start. What program are you launching that requires this DLL? The dialog that pops up, has the title: XWin.exe - Unable To Locate DLL Are you launching emacs? No. I did the update today.

The version of XFree86-xserv is 4.3.0-21. The version of XFree86-lib-compat is 4.3.0-2, with no available upgrade candidates.

Well, I guess it is the people who make the setup.exe to blame. When I wrote 'that file', I was referring to 'cygfreetype-6.dll', i.e. a copy of 'cygfreetype-9.dll', not to my ~/.xinitrc.
