I see in the current Cygwin distribution 5 packages with names starting 
libX11.  I've installed libX11_6, the "core library" runtime, and a few 
other packages it brought in.  Results are the same.  Any others I 
should install.

The "setup.ini" link at the bottom of your last message is actually a 
file with a cryptic name.  Here is the HTML
copied from your message:
   <a href="bintih8V8jzr7.bin" ><tt>setup.ini</tt></a>
