Actually almost none (I just recently started using Xwinw and I'm 
still amazed who easy the setup is and that seemingly everything 
"simply works").

You seem to get different errors when starting startx or startxwin.sh 
and startxwin.bat. This log shows no reason for shutting down the X 
server - the other said there was already one running.

Well, neither on mine and there are no mount statements in the 
postinstall scripts. I think some years ago there was a mounted font 
path but I might be mistaken.

Anyway, check if all the postinstall sripts have been run, and 
consider reinstalling X or Cygwin or Windows...
