My apologies, this should have mentioned multiwindow mode i.e. "X windows are
grouped on the taskbar more correctly in multiwindow mode"

The start menu shortcut for starting XWin in multiwindow mode installed by the
xinit package goes to some lengths to avoid lingering unnecessary windows
whilst setting up the correct environment, so if you need a custom command
line to invoke XWin, you should use that as a template.
Obviously, if you are running XWin in windowed mode, you will have one taskbar
item corresponding to the XWin window :-)
