rolling back to 1.3.2-1 fixed it. thank you very much for this, i was
really pulling my hair out on this. i read your request to the
maintainers and fully agree. while i only brought up this one bug,
since it was basically making cygwin/x useless, there were other
issues that made it annoying.
thanks again.

This is most likely due to a major rewrite of the xinit package which
contains all start-up scripts.
If you downgrade the xinit package from 1.3.4-1 to 1.3.2-1 does your
setup work again? Here is how you downgrade:
1. Start the Cygwin installer
2. Select the appropriate mirror and directories
3. In the package selection screen search for 'xinit'
4. Select the one from the 'X11' category and click on the version until
it cycles to 1.3.2-1 in stead of 1.3.4-1.
5. Click Next and install
If this does solve your problem you may want to read my request to the
maintainers:
