So I installed that package from setup.exe and tried: * start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -unixkill No change: I still get the startup dialog, then a GPF. * start XWin -multiwindow -unixkill Same: dialog, then GPF.

Do you have a build environment set up?
No. How is one done?
Check this part of the Contributor's Guide to get the source:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/prog-obtaining-source.html
Note: You must have at least the cvs and openssh packages in order to get the source.
If so, a compile in debug mode of XWin.exe followed by a run of it in gdb should narrow things down to a specific function.
Sounds reasonable.
Next, follow the instructions in the Native Compiling section to build a debug version of the tree:

P.S. You are a good sport, so I updated the Contributor's Guide instructions that tell how to get the source code... they used to advocate using pserver, but that is now no longer advised and a password-free ssh method is available and preferred. The new instructions tell how to use the ssh method.
