I figured it out. When I located the recently moved startxwin.bat script in /bin, and started it from that location, XTerm magically started receiving my keystrokes. Wish it were not so sensitive to the startup directory...
Shortcut to startxwin properties:
Target: C:\cygwin\bin\startxwin.bat
Start in: C:\cygwin\bin

I'm still having problems with Xdefaults -- can't yet get XTerm to respond to the following:
XTerm.VT100.font: -*-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-*-r-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm.VT100.boldFont: -*-bitstrean vera sans mono-bold-*-r-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm.VT100.background: Black
XTerm.VT100.foreground: Gray
XTerm.cursorColor: Green
The terminal remains black characters on a white background.
Thanks,
Michael
