Thanks Thomas,
The thing is, no matter what I put in those files, it either starts XWin
with a border, or not at all.
And when I do get it to start up, there is always a console mode window
hanging around until I close it, and that closes XWin...
*sigh* I AM trying to understand how all this stuff fits together, but I'm
not having very much luck.

RTFM! Do "man xinit" from the Cygwin command-line and read the 1st 3
paragraphs.

Thanks Artur,
But that's not quite the info I was looking for;
You see, when I type startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh, I get a
DIFFERENT
result than from starting xinit by itself.
Yet, xinit does start XWin, only it is starting it in windowed
mode...
Which is OK, but I'm just wondering WHERE does xinit get this from? Is it
executing a script?

What parameters does it use to start XWin? Where does it get the
parameters?
You can find manual and parameters for XWin from command:
man XWin
Is it executing a script?
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh
