In Yes, please use rxvt-unicode (urxvt). rxvt has been dead upstream for a decade. > both cases an icon for the Cygwin/X server process shows up in the > notification area. > > Both are started from a Windows shortcut: > > C32 target: > C:\win32app\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\win32app\cygwin\rxvtermX.bat > > C64 target: > C:\win64app\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\win64app\cygwin\urxvtermX.bat > > The batch files that run are similar.

I think this is not a problem with the X server, but with the Cygwin run utility, which is supposed to run the .bat file with a hidden console. See [1] a previous discussion of this problem. I've built an x86_64 run.exe with that patch applied and uploaded it at [2]. Perhaps you could try that and see if it improves things.
