I am unable to start an xterm from the Cygwin/X icon in the system tray

As a work-around, I created a shortcut on my desktop to start an xterm:
D:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/xterm -display localhost:0
That works perfectly,

I tried this explicitly:
"xterm" EXEC "xterm -display localhost:0"
That didn't make a difference.
One other piece of data: I modifed ~/.XWinrc and then clicked "Reload
.xwinrc" from the menu in the system tray. This KILLED the X server!

If PATH is not being set, then you're probably not running startxwin.exe
from a login shell. See
