Well, it is showing up with two processes in the windows task manager,
with one consuming 15% or so of the CPU, but the icon never appears in
the task bar.
The system is a fresh install of cygwin 64 bit version on a new laptop -
see attached cygcheck.out.
To reproduce this the x server is started with the "XWin Server" entry
under "Cygwin-X" on the Start Menu.
The menu actually worked for me in the beginning and I managed to
pinpoint what broke it. Originally I had only xorg-server, xinit and
xclock installed. That worked, the x server and the menu came up
quickly, but xclock complained about missing fonts. So I installed the 6
xorg-x11-fonts-* packages. That broke it.
I uninstalled the six fonts again and reinstalled them one after the
other. With all except
xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic
installed the menu keeps working as expected. No, I didn't try yet if
the ethiopic font breaks it again when I install it.
