X11R7.5 doesn't like the (default) locale C.UTF-8. If I start the
server with 'LANG=C.UTF-8 /usr/bin/startxwin.bat', the server exits
immediately, and the log has complaints about the locale. If I instead
use 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8', there's no problem. I've attached both logs and
cygcheck output.
Thanks for the bug report.
I'm afraid I'm not immediately able to reproduce this, though, using the
command you give.

The significant change is probably that libX11 is no longer built with
X_LOCALE (so that libX11 uses the native locale support rather than it's own).
Exactly why this would cause a problem, I don't know.
