xterm preventing shutdown


I had just done a new Cygwin install due to
a collection of (seemingly unrelated) errors.
(The workaround for a python fork::failed where
rebaseall didn't help was to do a new Cygwin install.
I was having the same error but with perl instead of python.)
The new install fixed that problem.  In fact,
I think I'm down to just one now.
When I ctrl-D all Cygwin windows and exit X from taskbar
Then attempt to shutdown I get a MS window
popping up which asks if an xterm can be killed
In order to shutdown/reboot.

If I cancel and run windows task manager I see that
A dbus-daemon process is still running but not an xterm.
If I kill dbus-daemon inside the windows task manager
Then reboot succeeds (the xterm is gone).
