I have found my misunderstanding.
I have started the "startx" instead of "startxwin.sh ".
The "startx" (I am not in linux) is pointing to the not existing "xinitrc"
file.
Therefore the windows manager "twm" was newer started.
However if I remember corect the "startx" has been worked
in previous releases of the XFree86 on Cygwin...
I am using the 4.2.0.x.
Thanks to all. ;-)
