Thanks Marco
I deleted the cygwin directory and reinstalled, selecting cygwin 1.7.8-1.
This did not work either; but I may have done a rebaseall after installing octave.
Got octave working with this sequence:
install cygwin, with x11; do a >/cygwin/bin/ash ? ./rebaseall;
run setup again: downgrade to 1.7.8-1, select octave, octave-forge ...;
(do NOT run ./rebaseall)
now sombrero demo plot works in octave.
BUT with the figure displayed a second Octave -> figure command does not work.

Doug,
rebaseall seems to break octave on WinXP. I already noted it on 1.7.9
and on some snapshots.
Workaround.
- reinstall octave
- downgrade cygwin from 1.7.9-1 to 1.7.8-1
At least on my WinXP SP3 it works.
