After re-installing Cygwin from scratch, I have determined that this
environment variable is/was causing the problem:
CYGWIN=tty
Once I removed it, I was able to create an X term from the icon in the
system tray.

As I've said before, this works properly on my XP SP3 system at work,

I run Win7 64bit as well

Since you mention it's your home computer that's having issues, I can

need to see your 'cygcheck -srv' output and your /var/log/XWin.0.log (as
plain-text attachments).

This sounds like it has nothing to do with startxwin. I can't reproduce
this, but do any of the following help:
1) creating a ~/.startxwinrc containing just xterm ?
Same problem. No xterm.
2) changing that .startxwinrc to run xterm?
Are you executing startxwin from a login shell? I use
\path\to\cygwin\bin\run.exe /bin/bash.exe -l -c /bin/startxwin.exe
and it works for me.

I do not have a ~/.startxwinrc file. The xterm that is supposed to be

The symptom is that xterm.exe is shown running in the task manager,
but there is no Xterm window on the desktop.
