[Please don't top-post.]

Your output from cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe is different from mine. 
  I get C:\cygwin\bin\cyggthread-2.0-0.dll right below 
C:\cygwin\bin\cyggobject-2.0-0.dll.  Did you by any chance edit the 
output and accidentally delete that line?  Otherwise, I don't understand 
why there's a difference.

Also, your cygcheck.out shows that you still have some remnants of an 
obsolete X server on your system.  For example, you have /usr/X11R6/bin 
in your path, and you have the following obsolete packages installed:

xorg-x11-base                   7.4-1
xorg-x11-bin                    7.4-1
xorg-x11-bin-dlls               7.4-1
xorg-x11-bin-lndir              7.4-1
xorg-x11-etc                    7.4-1
xorg-x11-fenc                   7.4-1
xorg-x11-fnts                   7.4-1
xorg-x11-libs-data              7.4-1
xorg-x11-xwin                   7.4-1

I don't know whether that's your problem or not, but you should 
uninstall them and get rid of /usr/X11R6/bin.  Also, you haven't said 
how you're starting the X server.  Are you by any chance using the 
obsolete startxwin.bat?

Ken
