If you set PATH absolutely in .bash_profile, the right thing will happen.
You may want to copy the initial value of PATH into another exported env

Are you perhaps modifying PATH in .bashrc?
No Mike, not as far as I can tell. In fact it's the original .bashrc that

Nope, 1.4.9 is the latest (indeed, only) version in cygwin mirrors.

One particular problem is that the xserver will only support twin

I can see a package called libX11 : X.OrgX11 core library (source). Will
