I seem to have almost excatly the same problem except that I could not solve it by removing the Cygwin-X folder. In this case during the reinstallation of the xinit package the folder is recreated again and then the original error message (xinit.sh exit code 3) reappears. The directory again has strange permissions  when checked with Windows Explorer and I am not allowed the enter it or see its contents before resetting the security settings.

When doing an "ls -l" (within Cygwin) in the "Start Menu" folder the group and owner for the Cygwin-X directory seem to be reversed compared to other folders manually created from Windows Explorer (i.e. the user name appears in the group column and vice versa) but I'm not sure if this is important:

d---rwxr-x+ 1 myusername Administratoren                0 May 10 02:27  Cygwin-X

For all other folders the group is displayed before the username.

I had to fix the security settings for the Cygwin-X folder and then manually execute the last two "mkshortcut" commands from "/etc/postinstall/xinit.sh" (replacing $CYGWINFORALL with "-A" and ${wow64} with an empty string).

Should this be the only problem and should my "fix" be correct? And is there anything I can do to help find the cause for this problem?
