After re-installing Cygwin from scratch, I have determined that this
environment variable is/was causing the problem:
CYGWIN=tty
Once I removed it, I was able to create an X term from the icon in the
system tray.

Since you mention it's your home computer that's having issues, I can

This sounds like it has nothing to do with startxwin. I can't reproduce
this, but do any of the following help:

Same problem. No xterm.

I had this problem. It was happening because PATH was not being set. The

(1.7.1) + Xorg updates, including startxwin.exe. Everything works

At home, I am running Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit. I am unable to
start an xterm from the Cygwin/X icon in the sy
