If people would like to feed me the latest-greatest startup stuff
for Cygwin, I'll get it into the docs so that the next Cygwin users
will have an easier time of it.

The multiwindow thing is relatively new, but it takes the later
versions of Cygwin to make it work.  It allows you to have both X11
apps and Windows apps showing on the same Windows desktop, without
the root X11 window showing at all.
