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
