Doesn't your startxwin.bat start an xterm after the X server? I always
had to comment that out (I run startxwin at startup).
Instead of xterm, you may consider using rxvt (which has the advantage
of working with or without X). I don't use cygwin.bat anymore; just a
shortcut with
rxvt <some other options> -e bash --login
Hope this helps.
