No problem.

I suggest that you make a backup of your startxwin.bat, then download 
the newest XFree86-startup-scripts package using Cygwin's setup.exe. 
That new file has some additional documentation that you may find 
helpful and it uses -multiwindow by default now.  Yes, you have to 
comment out any existing window manager so that you don't run two of 
them at once.
