Reporting problem and solution, but I would appreciate if cygwin
experts could comment on the underlying reasons why this kind of thing
happens and why rebaseall is needed.

I have done a pretty clean install of the latest Cygwin and want to
report a problem (and solution) so people will be able to fix it
themselves.  I am installing on a domain-joined Win7 machine.  My
installation process is to run setup.exe, only choose wget as an extra
package, and then use the apt-cyg script to install extra packages, as
in:
cp apt-cyg /bin
apt-cyg install `cat packages`
where "packages" is a list of the packages I had from a previous install.
When I try to start X, it fails and I get the following errors in
/var/log/XWin.0.log (see bottom of email).l

I was able to fix this problem by doing "rebaseall" [i.e.: close all
cygwin processes, go to "cmd", cd to c:\cygwin\bin,
and type "ash rebaseall".   This gives the following errors which I am
ignoring for the time being:

C:\cygwin\bin>ash rebaseall
/usr/lib/engines/lib4758cca.so: skipped because not writable
/usr/lib/engines/libaep.so: skipped because not writable
/usr/lib/engines/libatalla.so: skipped because not writable

/usr/lib/engines/libsureware.so: skipped because not writable
/usr/lib/engines/libubsec.so: skipped because not writable
/usr/lib/engines/libcapi.so: skipped because not writable

The errors in XWin.0.log are below, for search purposes.
