Empty screen when opening X Terminal


Hi, I am relatively new to Cygwin, I've tried to search through the
archive but couldn't quite find exactly what i'm looking for.

I've installed Cygwin few months ago, then recently when I try to open
XTerminal, I am getting a blank screen. I've tried opening it through
startx, startwinx.bat, startwinx.sh,  however, still nothing inside
the Xterminal screen.

Below is the Xwin.log. It appears the errors I'm getting should be
only warnings and could be ignored according to the forum.  Any
suggestions or ideas? Do I need to set something else up?

i've tried to uninstall and reinstall again, but same behaviour.

Thanks in advance.
