I start X on both the same way using the shortcut installed by Cygwin. On both machines, I have a .startxwinrc that starts two rxvt windows. The difference is, on the desktop, items appear in the Windows taskbar for the two rxvt windows only - as I expect. But on the laptop, another taskbar item for the XWin server appears.

I am not sure the reason is known; a race condition has been
mentioned as a possibility.  I solved this by using xlaunch,
and starting that with cygwin's "run" program.
