I just installed 1.5.18-1, selecting "Default" in the installer for
everything except X11, for which I chose "Install" instead.  I have
attached cygcheck.out.

If I run startx, then type "texteroids" into the xterm (bash) window, I
get the following error:

=============================
%% DPS Client Library Warning:
   Auto-launching DPS NX agent.
%% DPS Client Library Warning:
   FAILED to auto-launch:
    dpsnx.agent

texteroids: DPS is not available.
You need an X server with the DPS extension, or a DPS NX agent.

=============================

A new texteroids window appears briefly, then disappears.  I get the
same behavior from the Start menu icon, but (obivously) I don't get the
helpful error messages above.

Other xapps (xterm, xeyes) work OK.

This isn't a high priority for me; I just thought someone might want to
know about this.  Thanks!
