I removed cygwin-developers AT cygwin DOT com, wrong place to send to.

Your problem is well known, but if you have others you'll have to read up on
http://cygwin.com/problems.html beforehand.

Your PC is one of those that doesn't accept that '/bin/cygpath.exe' is used
in a specific way during installation.

It has been discussed a lot lately, search for the cause has been initiated
and continuation is imminent.

 To fix this problem for the time beeing - do this, from a bash shell
prompt:

$ cd /etc/postinstall/
$ XFree86-bin-icons.sh

When you press enter on that the task that was meant to be done during
installation will be completed.

To make it not bother you more, until next time it gets 'installed' you can
do this:

$ mv XFree86-bin-icons.sh XFree86-bin-icons.sh.done

Google on something like "site:cygwin.com inurl:ml +cygpath +hang" to read
up on the subject.
