I found out that the .xinitrc parameters are used with startx. I start
the normal bash and type in startx. This start Xserver and SC. And SC
works fine.
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin/ startx -display 127.0.0.1:0.0
do not work because startx is a script not an .exe
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/local/bin/ sylpheed-claws.exe -display
127.0.0.1:0.0  start SC for a second. I can see this in the
task-manager.

I think it is not possible to start SC from one icon without typing
something
