Items under Cygwin-X menu do not start.

Dear Cygwin Enthusiasts,
    Forgive me if I ask a newbie question, but I couldn't find an
    answer on the web, faq, or mailing list.  So despite the dire
    warnings on the web page I just wanted to ask...

    I downloaded and installed cygwin yesterday on a dell 600m laptop,
    running Win XP SP1.  While X starts ok when I run comments from
    the cygwin prompt when i try to use the menu items that were
    placed in windows start menu nothing seemed to happen.  I copied
    the commands out of the short cut and ran them directly from the
    cygwin prompt, still no luck and no error messages...
    
    An example of the command that is not working for me is 
    C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe xterm -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 

    or from the cygwin propmpt 
    /usr/X11R6/bin/run.exe xterm -display 127.0.0.1:0.0

    If I then start a Xwin by hand, then the command from the cygwin
    prompt works but still not from the windows start menu.  I am a
    bit confused by the whole business.

Yours,
NPML
