Missing error message using XWin.exe

Hello,

obviously XWin.exe uses files in /usr/bin, see below:

Assume, I've forgotten to add the string

 '\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin'

to the env variable PATH.

If I invoke 'xwin.exe -' now, nothing happens.
The prompt of the CLI (command line interface) returns immediately
without any message.

In the case I've added '\cygwin\bin' to the env variable PATH
I receive a lot of command line parameters trying to launch 'xwin.exe -'.

IMO, I would appreciate, when 'XWin.exe' outputs a error message, that
it hasn't found certain programs which are necessary for the operation
of 'XWin.exe'.

greetings

 Karl Philipp
