1.5.18-1: Cygwin-X programs immediately crash

["David Masterson" <dmasterson at vmware dot com>]

This is probably "operator error", but I wonder...

I'm trying to (re)install Cygwin (and Cygwin-X) onto a Windows-XP (SP2)
system.  After installation, X does not seem to work.  Can someone tell me
why?

Here is what I did.  First, I ensured that I had removed Cygwin from my
system:

*	I used setup.exe to uninstall everything.
*	I removed C:\Cygwin
*	I removed all desktop icons related to Cygwin
*	I removed the Cygwin and Cygwin-X menu items from Start
*	I emptied the Recycle Bin
*	I used regedit to delete "Software\Cygnus Solutions" from HKCU and
HKLM

Next, I reinstalled Cygwin using setup.exe.  I already had everything
downloaded to a local drive, so I did a local install (it's up-to-date).  I
did an install of everything (set All to "Install").  I then used
mkpasswd/mkgroup to create passwd/group in /etc.

After that, I ran /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh to try to bring up X.  The X
server comes up and then the Xterm comes up, but the Xterm (almost)
immediately crashes.  The following is the output in the startxwin window and
the output of cygcheck is attached:
