It always overwrites the Xwin.0.log file when it starts. Is there some change we could make to this .bat script that would cause it to at least
save one previous version?

I guess you could add to the above something like:

move C:\cygwin\var\log\XWin.0.log C:\cygwin\var\log\XWin.0.log.old

but yes, there is actually some code in the server to do that, but
it's not turned on in XWin for unknown reasons...

Good idea. Changed it to the following and tested. It keeps the last two versions.

======================after this line
@echo off
set CYGXTOP=%~dp0

C:
chdir "%CYGXTOP%\var\log\xwin"
move XWin.0.log.1 XWin.0.log.2
move XWin.0.log XWin.0.log.1
chdir "%CYGXTOP%\bin"

start Xwin :0 -multiwindow
======================before this line
