Try the 'run' utility in the X-startup-scripts package. The comment at
the top of the source pretty much explains it:
/*
* This program is based on the runemacs.c distributed with XEmacs 21.0
*
* Simple program to start gnu-win32 X11 programs (and native XEmacs)
* with its console window hidden.
*
* This program is provided purely for convenience, since most users
will
* use XEmacs in windowing (GUI) mode, and will not want to have an
extra
* console window lying around. Ditto for desktop shortcuts to gnu-win32
* X11 executables.
