I didn't want to get into the details of what works and what doesn't 
work.  You are right that it seems to work fine with "-query", but it 
doesn't work with other options.  I don't know what is going on, but I 
suspect we can probably fix it by modifying either run.exe or 
XWin.exe... but the other solution is to just use bash so we can do 
"XWin &" instead of using start or run.  Find whatever solution you need 
for the time being until it can be fixed properly.
