XWin starting differently after update


I'm on XP and was starting with startxwin.bat with the following;

start /B XWin
run openbox
run xsetroot -solid aquamarine4

after doing an update today this gives an 'Run.exe' window saying it
couldn't find 'openbox' which is in the same directory (/usr/X11R6/bin/) as
the XWin binary.  However if I start the shell first then run startxwin.sh
with;

XWin &
openbox &
xsetroot -solid aquamarine4

it starts as before.  The XWin.log output looks the same for both (mainly
just warnings);

While this is usable I would like to be able to open an X session without
any additional shell or terminal windows (this worked before the switch to
xorg-x11).  I tried the suggestion from another post;

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe XWin.exe -query ... -nodecoration

But that failed to find cygwin1.dll till I put it into the same directory as
XWin.exe.  Now it does nothing at all, not even a log output.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Sterling Baker
