Be sure that you are using the GRASS specific version of Tcl/Tk, not the 
Cygwin version. If you have installed the Cygwin Tcl/Tk, uninstall it 
and then get xtcltk-8.3.4-CYGWIN.tar.gz from:
http://grass.itc.it/grass5/binary/windows_cygnus/wingrass_xserver/
and unpack it in the root of your Cygwin installation (e.g. C:/Cygwin/).
