That kind of GUI should be started from within Cygwin X11. If Cygwin X11
is not already running you cannot start a GTK2 GUI.
The "loaded to different address" error seems to indicate an
incompatibility between your Cygwin Vim executable and your Cygwin
shared libraries. You might want to update _all_ your installed Cygwin
packages to their latest versions.
In general, I recommend to use only the Console version of Cygwin Vim
from the Cygwin bash prompt, and/or the native-Windows versions of
Console Vim (from the cmd.exe prompt) and of gvim (from cmd.exe prompt
and/or from a desktop shortcut).
Best regards,
Tony.
