No, it is not being replaced. If X is running then cygwin1.dll is in use. Setup cannot replace in-use files, it can only schedule them to be replaced on the next reboot which is exactly what it does -- and this is what the "In use files were replaced, you must reboot" message means when you're done. You get the errors because the DLL was in use and could not be replaced.
