A couple things to note here:

   1. We don't support other people's recipes for configuring any Cygwin
      package.  Generally when someone reports a problem after using an
      external source for configuration help, this list suggests looking
      to the authors of the help for support.

   2. Interacting with the desktop through a service is really only
      supported for XP and older systems.  Since most of the other details
      you report also suggest that you're using XP, I'll surmise you are,
      though it would be best if you followed the problem reporting guidelines
      found here - http://cygwin.com/problems.html - just so we don't have to
      make these kind of guesses.

You might try downgrading to 5.6p1 if you have not done so already.
