I would say that it didn't result in a working X server in view of the error
message, "D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up".
The documentation on the Cygwin/X home page (http://x.cygwin.com/) says that you
should install the xinit package in order to use the Cygwin X server. And xinit
depends on dbus-x11. But not everyone reads the documentation before
installing, so maybe xlaunch should require xinit.
