I don't know if the following can help..

For years I start the X server with a link whose target is:

C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote bash -l -c "rm -rf /tmp/.X*; XWin 
-multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error 2>/dev/null &"

and the "From" field:  C:\cygwin64\home\$USER

I created it with a script like this



MKSHORTCUT=`which mkshortcut 2> /dev/null`
RUN=`which run 2> /dev/null`
XWINEXE=`which XWin 2> /dev/null`
XWINEXE="${XWINEXE}.exe"

xwin_link()
{
     echo
     echo -n "Creating XWin desktop link..."

     local xwin_exe_ico="${XWINEXE}"
     local xwin="XWin Server"
     local xwin_cmd="rm -rf /tmp/.X*;"
     xwin_cmd+=" XWin -multiwindow -clipboard"
     xwin_cmd+=" -silent-dup-error 2>/dev/null &"

     ${MKSHORTCUT} \
         -a "--quote bash -l -c \"${xwin_cmd}\"" \
         -d "XWin Server" \
         -i "${xwin_exe_ico}" \
         -n "${xwin}" \
         -w "${HOME}" \
         ${RUN}
     echo "done."
}

xwin_link

Now, on W7, I have it on the Applications Bar, and start the x server 
manually. On XP, I had it in Start - Automatic Run, and the X server 
started with Windows..


Ciao,
  Angelo.
