It's not quite right here either.  Xwin starts up OK, but I can't get
an xterm going from the menu (stack dump). But if I open a CMD window
and type xterm -display localhost:0 then the xterm starts up OK.

If the cygwin 1.7.12 snapshot breaks the package XWin, you probably want to
report that in the 1.7.12 snapshot call for testing thread, so the people who
can fix problems with that will notice.

 For me, the problem of texworks hanging only occurs very intermittently.  It

 Attaching to the texworks process, I get a backtrace like this:

 I'm not sure how the X server changes could directly cause that to happen.

I can reproduce that same problem with the same backtrace with X server
1.11.4-5, so I don't think this can be called a regression in 1.12.0-1.
