By popular demand, I have added the following to startwin.bat.

Cheers,

REM Brief descriptions of XWin-specific options:
REM
REM -screen scr_num [width height]
REM      Enable screen scr_num and optionally specify a width and
REM      height for that screen.
REM      Most importantly, any parameters specified before the first -screen
REM      parameter apply to all screens.  Any options after the first 
-screen
REM      parameter apply only to the screen that precedes the parameter.
REM      Example:
REM          XWin -fullscreen -screen 0 -screen 1 -depth 8 -screen 2
REM      All screens will be fullscreen, but screen 2 will be depth 8, while
REM      screens 0 and 1 will be the default depth (whatever depth Windows
REM      is currently running at).
REM -multiwindow
REM      Start an integrated Windows-based window manager.  Not to be used
REM      with -rootless nor -fullscreen.
REM -rootless
REM      Use a transparent root window with an external window manager
REM      (such as twm).  Not to be used with -multiwindow nor
REM      with -fullscreen.
REM -fullscreen
REM      Use a window as large as possible on the primary monitor.
REM -multiplemonitors
REM      Create a root window that covers all monitors on a
REM      system with multiple monitors.
REM -clipboard
REM      Enable the integrated version of xwinclip.  Do not use in
REM      conjunction with the xwinclip program.
REM -depth bits_per_pixel
REM      Specify the screen depth to run at (in bits per pixel) using a
REM      DirectDraw-based engine in conjunction with the -fullscreen
REM      option, ignored if the -fullscreen option is not specified.
REM      By default, you will be using a DirectDraw based engine on any
REM      system that supports it.
REM -unixkill
REM      Trap Ctrl+Alt+Backspace as a server shutdown key combination.
REM -nounixkill
REM      Disable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace as a server shutdown key combination 
(default).
REM      Example:
REM          XWin -unixkill -screen 0 -screen 1 -screen 2 -nounixkill
REM      Screens 0 and 1 will allow Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but screen 2 
will not.
REM -winkill
REM      Trap Alt+F4 as a server shutdown key combination (default).
REM -nowinkill
REM      Disable Alt+F4 as a server shutdown key combination.
REM -scrollbars
REM      Enable resizing of the server display window.  Do not use in 
conjunction
REM      with -multiwindow nor with -rootless.
REM -nodecoration
REM      Draw the server root window without a title bar or border.
REM      Do not use with -mutliwindow nor with -rootless.
REM -lesspointer
REM      Hide the Windows mouse cursor anytime it is over any part of the
REM      window, even if Cygwin/XFree86 is not the window with the focus.
REM -refresh rate_in_Hz
REM      Specify a refresh rate to use when used with the -fullscreen 
option.
REM -trayicon
REM      Enable the tray icon (default).
REM -notrayicon
REM      Disable the tray icon.
REM      Example:
REM          XWin -notrayicon -screen 0 -screen 1 -screen 2 -trayicon
REM      Screens 0 and 1 will not have tray icons, but screen 2 will.
REM -emulate3buttons [timeout]
REM      Emulate 3 button mouse with an optional timeout in milliseconds.
REM -xf86config
REM      Specify an XF86Config-style configuration file.
REM -keyboard
REM      Specify a keyboard device from the configuration file.
