Have you tried to open up a cygwin shell, and then starting up an xterm, to see if it might just be there, awaiting connections? If you open in multiwindow mode (native mode by default), then I wouldn't expect anything to happen until your X Server actually has a client window to display.
open up a cygwin bash shell, make sure your DISPLAY is set, or give the -display option to some xclient (xterm, xclock, etc), and see if it pops up on your desktop.
