Why doesn't "run XWin" show a window?

The subject line says most of it really. When I "run XWin" no window
appears even though the X appears in the tray. I've seen this on every
machine I've tried it on.
"XWin" alone will show the window as well as the console that opens with
it. Passing a parameter like "run XWin -nodecoration" does have the
expected effect of showing the XWin window but hiding the console. But
why isn't the main window displayed if the parameter is missing when the
command is used with run ?
cygcheck output below.
Thanks,
Paul
