	I can get startx to work by one of two methods (neither probably ideal)
(on cygwin-64 in case that matters):

1) install everything in X11 at which point 
   this (with only xinit, xorg-server and xterm selected):

$ startx

which opens a full screen window for a few seconds and then returns to the 
command prompt closing X. After loading everything it turns in to this:

	Which results in the expected X windows system til I exited.

or 2)

install everything in Xfce in which case startx starts the xfce4 desktop.
Since I'm happy with xfce4, thats my solution. However it appears to me 
that there is a dependency missing in xorg-server as it doesn't appear to
load enough to make X actually work. From the error messages it looks to
to be in winClipboardProc since that seems to be where the error occurs,
but I have no idea where winClipboardProc is in the mass of packages in X11.
