Dear all: 

How to make xterm start automatically on XWin start? When I run XWin from a Windows shortcut, the X Server starts, but not an xterm. The same happens when I run startxwin from a cygwin terminal. 

(After the X server starts, choosing xterm from the graphical menu does bring up an xterm window. So, xterm is functional.)

The Cygwin/X FAQ is not helpful: there is no CYGWIN environment variable on my system and there is no particular error message. (The system is completely updated as of today. Due to strong filtering of the mailing list, the output of cygcheck cannot be attached in my case; it can be sent it to a private e-mail address if asked.)

Any help? Thanks in advance,

Jaakov.
 
PS. Below is the output of startxwin from a cygwin text terminal:
