Oh i see you are using nohup?  I am having problems with it too
since Cygwin 1.1.6.  If I add it to startxwin.bat it does not work,
but if I type it from a bash shell, it works.  I did not get time
to investigate it.  It used to work perfect until Cygwin 1.1.4.

I recommend in your startxwin.bat file comment out nohup commands
and use 

start /B ./xterm :0
start /B ./twm :0
