Your best defense against this is to read the xinit release 
announcements.  You can always ask for help if you want to change the 
new behavior and aren't sure how.

Here are the last two announcements in which there were major changes to 
the xinit package; both of them spelled out the changes very clearly:

   https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-announce/2015-07/msg00013.html
   https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2014-11/msg00004.html
