If you run XWin --help, you get the following:
use: X [:<display>] [option]
[snip]
-screen scr_num [width height [x y] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]
Enable screen scr_num and optionally specify a width and
height and initial position for that screen. Additionally
a monitor number can be specified to start the server on,
at which point, all coordinates become relative to that
monitor (Not for Windows NT4 and 95). Examples:
-screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; 2nd monitor offset 100,100 size 800x600
-screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; 3rd monitor size 1024x768
-screen 0 @1 ; on 1st monitor using its full resolution (the default)
BTW - I didn't say so in my OP, but I also tried "XWin -screen 0 @1", which
is suggested above, and that only got me a 1024x768 windowed XWin on the
secondary monitor.

Isn't the command somewhat like this? ...
XWin -screen 0 1000 768 blah blah
I have yet to reach to the point in the cygwin/x docs
where it allows the command with options such as
-screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Are we allowed to specify arguments of this
option this way?
(I'm not too prone to reading user docs/guides
until I get into trouble).
My actual command is
XWin -screen 0 1900 1400 -multiplemonitors -emulate3buttons -scrollbars
-clipboard -silent-dup-error
I believe multiplemonitors option allows cyg/x
to recognise the second monitor and to allow you
to move your cyg/x window to the second monitor,
which I always do.
I needed the scrollbars option for reasons I
cannot clearly recall. Without the option, I seem
to recall I could not
stretch cyg/x window to the extremities of my
large second monitor without maximizing the window.

Subject: Can't make XWin on secondary monitor big enough...
I've got a Thinkpad with a 1024x768 LCD screen connected to a 21" CRT
monitor which I've enabled as a secondary monitor at 1600x1200
resolution.
I'd like to run XWin in windowed mode on the secondary monitor
and take up
the full resolution. However, try as I might, I can't make
XWin any bigger
than 1024x768 on the secondary monitor. Here are the obvious
command-lines
I've tried:
XWin -screen 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This results in a 1024x768 windowed XWin on the secondary monitor
XWin -screen 0 @2 -fullscreen
This results in a 1024x768 fullscreen XWin on the primary monitor
Any ideas?
-Tom
