It's not quite right here either.  Xwin starts up OK, but I can't get
an xterm going from the menu (stack dump). But if I open a CMD window
and type "xterm -display localhost:0" then the xterm starts up OK.

If the cygwin 1.7.12 snapshot breaks the package XWin, you probably want to
report that in the 1.7.12 snapshot call for testing thread, so the people who
can fix problems with that will notice.

I had a similar experience.  I could not get xterms to start using the
03/30 snapshot.  I tried the 04/01 snapshot this morning and all seems
back to normal.  Also using the experimental 1.12 X server.
