Once you're in a cygwin shell, you already have the cygwin environment set up. That's why you don't need to type them in from the command line.
So, they really should be equivalent.
I've probably missed a prior discussion, but if "startxwin.exe" doesn't set up the Cygwin environment, then what good is it? I thought that this was about the only advantage that "startxwin.bat" had over "startx".
and startxwin.exe doesn't, I see absolutely no reason to use startxwin.exe instead of startx.
