This has probably been posted several times before but... The new xwin and startup scripts are in a new location. Change your start menu shortcuts from C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin C:\cygwin\bin. You *might* be able to fix it without editing anything by reinstalling the X-start-menu-icons package. It didn't work for me. I had to modify the shortcut it created for the XWin Server and specify the "start in" field as C:\cygwin\bin.
