I received an e-mail this morning from a gentleman named Joachim König-Baltes concerning this issue. He found an old post in the Dexpot forums with a different issue, but the solution is working for him (and for me) and now the latest version of xorg-server in Cygwin is working with Dexpot again. The forum post is here: http://dexpot.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3297 This post has a file to download and place into the Dexpot installation directory. Restart Dexpot and it will work correctly with xorg-server 1.17.2-1 again. In case that forum post goes away, the solution is to create a file name 'myweschsel.ini' in the Dexpot install directory and simply put the following 2 lines in it and restart Dexpot. [Exe] XWin.exe=move Thanks to Joachim for finding and sharing this solution!
