The shortcuts to applications under the "Cygwin-X" menu all use "run" so I
believe still work after the move (if you can get the server started in the
first place)

I don't think the shortcut to "startxwin.bat" was created by cygwin setup.
(I've always had to make one manually)

So, while it's likely that a user will have a shortcut to that somewhere, it's
quite complex to do something helpful programmatically.

So near but so far: try "xterm*toolBar: false"
