Jim,
It this is the root of your problem:
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
This is what finally worked for me. Start cygwin and do a df, if this
show the mount points, /usr, /usr/bin/, and /usr/lib. Then umount /usr
and close the cygwin window. Now do the reinstall of the fonts as
documented in the FAQ.
The mount point mentioned in the FAQ doesn't exist, so this took care
of my problem. I wished they where a little clearer in what has the
wrong infomation that unumounting and reinstalling resolves.
Hopes this helps.

I have tried the remedy noted at
x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof to no avail.
In fact the umount command noted returns no mount found. I have tried
reinstalling X, completely uninstalling cygwin and reinstalling it, to
no avail. Googling the problem only points me to the FAQ over and over
again. Any ideas on some other things I could try?
Thanks,
Craig Smith
