I prefer this mechanism: I use "startx" to start X Windows, either from
the command line or from a Windows shortcut with the following Target:
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c startx
In my home directory, the files .xserverrc and .xinitrc initialize the X
server and X clients, respectively.
My .xserverrc contains:
exec X -rootless -nowinkill -emulate3buttons 50
My .xinitrc contains:
xrdb -load $HOME/.Xdefaults
exec wmaker
