No, setup.exe won't do that.  It must have gotten there through other means.
Delete the one in /usr/X11R6/bin.  If you have further difficulties that you
wish to contact the list about, please read and follow the problem reporting
guidelines found here:

Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Also, if any further problem you experience is not Cygwin-X specific, the
general Cygwin list will get you more exposure.
