I just did a fresh install on Vista, and confirmed the following

a UAC prompt.
The behavior, without changing anything whatsoever from the installed state, is
that the regular user cannot run x or the bash shell console window without
first entering a password for an administrator account.
If you can't start the bash shell (in a windows console or mintty window or
whatever), then your problem isn't X specific, so I suggest you raise it on
the main cygwin list.
From the way you describe it, it sounds like you are getting a UAC prompt
just to start these executables, rather than from anything they are trying to
do? (although, from my recollection, the 'details' provided in a UAC prompt is
some UUID, exactly how one is supposed to decode that to determine what action
was taken which requires privilege, I don't know...)
