can you start X11 with startxwin ?
If you start with just "XWin :0 -multiwindow -clipboard"
does it work ?
startxwin isn't found:

I thought it might be because xorg-scripts wasn't installed, so I
installed xorg-scripts 1.0.1-1, but it didb't make startxwin appear.
I *do* have xorg-server 1.20.5-3 installed (and it was working until a
couple of days ago).
startxwin is supposed to be installed with xorg-server?
I was missing the xinit package and installed xinit 1.4.1-1 and then I
got startxwin.
It failed in the startup with messages that looks similar to the ones
output to the log file:
sbang@ITEM-S63383:~$ startxwin

Welcome to the XWin X Server

OS: Windows 10 [Windows NT 10.0 build 18363] (Win64)

XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -auth

(II) xorg.conf is not supported
(II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information
LoadPreferences: /cygdrive/d/Profiles/sbang/.XWinrc not found
LoadPreferences: Loading /etc/X11/system.XWinrc

winDetectSupportedEngines - RemoteSession: no
winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed, allowing ShadowDDNL
winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000005
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
this looks like another program blocking the effort
and it can be as Xwin can NOT write files with the needed
permission on your home directory
What is the output of
grep home /etc/nsswitch.conf
