It looks like I have managed to screw up my cygwin installation more or less completely :o(
What I did: I was trying out some of the latest snapshots, and noticed that KDE would not start with them. So I kept trying, changing back and forth between the different cygwin1.dll files, rebooting and running rebaseall -v between tries. Result: Now, whenever I try starting XWin (whether with KDE or without) it will fail with the message such as the following: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe (4056): *** cygheap version mismatch detected - 0x61790000/0x1010000. You have multiple copies of cygwin1.dll on your system. Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin distribution. I have tried putting the original cygwin1.dll back, including reboot and rebaseall -v, but still the same results. As it is, the only thing I can do is run bash in a dos window. There are definitely no multiple copies of that file. I renamed all the other snapshopts to <something_else>._dll and searched all disks. Any pointers or advice would be greatly appreciated.
