Thanks for your reply:-) I followed your advice, now it seems that rdesktop is running, but the window that xinit showed was just plain black. rdesktop is supposed to be a remote desktop client that runs on linux and connect to a windows remote desktop. When I use the command "/usr/bin/xinit.exe ./rdesktop/rdesktop.exe -f 192.168.1.79" in a cygwin terminal, it can show the desktop of 192.168.1.79. Could this be due to the same reason that startx can't show the cygwin desktop? What should I do? Thanks;-)
Hmm... so when I try this, it seems it only works when I arrange for rdesktop's stderr to go somewhere, e.g.
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe -quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/rdesktop -f byron >/var/log/xwin/rdesktop_session.log 2>&1"
If that's really necessary, perhaps that's a bug in run.(You do know that you could achieve a similar effect with 'mstsc /f /v:byron' ?)

The command I run: "c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/xinit.exe /home/Administrator/rdesktop.exe -f 192.168.1.79 But, it seems that rdesktop.exe isn't running, the window was just showing a terminal prompt.Using the command lines from the start menu items created for the xinit package as a template (see [1]), I think you need something like: c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/xinit.exe /home/Administrator/rdesktop.exe -f 192.168.1.79" The command string being given to bash -c needs quoting, otherwise subsequent words are assumed to be parameters to that command.
This reason is wrong. I should have said something like "needs quoting to get correctly passed to bash" since I think the issue is not in bash, but in run.
run needs to be given the -quote option to protect those quotes. [1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-command-line-args
