To completely remove cygwin, you delete the folders C:\cygwin and the
local packages. Then run regedit, search for Cygnus and delete the two
keys. See as well:
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_2.html#SEC19
It should, however not be necessary to un- or re-install cygwin, as it
barely affects your system.

In my installation instruction I suggested to test the X-server with a
simple xterm. You have, however, to install the xterm package, it is not
part of cygwin's base set of packages.

mktexpk - create a PK file for a font
You could check by saying
which mktexpk
that indeed the /usr/bin/mktexpk is used, and not LiveTex' version.
