Thanks Phil,
All my googling for a solution pointed to the /tmp/.X11-unix directory
but unfortunately it didn't exist, that's why I was thinking maybe an
errant pid file somewhere.
I've been lucky this time actually, a second reboot has just fixed the
problem! (Unlike the previous time I had this problem, when several
reboots had no effect and I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling
cygwin from scratch).
regards,
- Kev

I suspect a there's a pid file still hanging around for X from the
previous crashed session? I can't find one, and googling for a
solution turned up nothing useful.
The file you're looking for is /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
If you'd started X with startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh this would have
been done as a matter of course.
