Thanks Patrick for a workaround, +200+200 works for me.
Mario's suggestion of startxwin doesn't solve the problem because
startxwin doesn't allow single root window mode.
Another minimal way to demonstrate the problem:
DISPLAY=:0; export
I've found a better workaround for this problem which works without
needing to calculate the correct placement of a remedial xterm.
Install the xsetroot package and run the following once the X server
has started up:
# Traditional X11 X-shaped cursor
xsetroot -cursor_name X_cursor
or
# Normal
I've observed a problem whereby a single-screen X11 session started
with startx or Xwin prevents a single xterm from being started in a
usable state (no keyboard or mouse focus), but the problem goes away
if the xterm is placed in a *particular area on the screen*.
It's a new fresh Cygwin
In my previous email, I mis-typed the xterm geometry which might have
caused confusion. There was a minus where there should have been a
plus. Corrected version below.
