Trouble getting a windowed X

Greetings:
1. I have tried to read everything I can on this subject, and I have not
had much luck after 2 days of messing around with this.
Here is what works:
Open rxvt
issue the command "X"
Cygwin/x starts up how I want it. On just one of my monitors, with max/min
buttons and a title bar.
I open another window...and issue "xterm -e "ssh -Y -l username host"
and finally startkde. Works like a champ.
I have an Xserver up and running with Min and Max buttons, and
KDE. Perfect, except there is a terminal hanging around that I don't need
on my desktop. So I tried the following:
run X.
The server starts but the windowed screen doesn't show up.
*** Here is the bottomline question. How can I get an Xserver running when
I issue the command "X" and to have it detach from rxvt. ***
I've tried to use XWin.exe with a number of options, but I have yet to
duplicate what simply X does with no arguments.
I am running Windows XP SP2 with 3 Monitors. I only want one monitor in
use for XWindows.
Thanks
HFC
