Fwd: xterm, xclock fail to start, rxvt, xeyes are okay

["Jay Abel" <jabel at flex dot com>]

After upgrading cygwin last night I found that xterm and xclock would
no longer start.  The processes show in task manager, but even
something like

$ xterm --help

Doesn't produce any output.  Same for xclock, a process shows in the
'processes' tab of task manager but not in 'applications'.

But this doesn't apply to all X applications.  For example, rxvt,
xeyes, xfig, xfontsel, to name a few, all still work.

cygcheck output attached.

I tried reinstalling xterm, but the new binary is identical to the one
I already had, so the change appears to be located somewhere else.

Is anyone aware of a similar problem?  I googled and found something
similar from 2002, but nothing recent.

To be clear, I CAN run xterm on a remote machine, so the problem isn't
likely at the protocol/ client-server level.  It _appears_ that the
problem is more fundamental, that the applications simply fail to
initialize properly.

Any ideas?

Jay
