starting X on an alternate monitor

[Soong, SylokeJ]

Since monitor #2 is an extension display area with monitor #1,
Win/xp treats the whole as a single display space.
Consecutive invocation of xp apps frames would graduate in
coordinates left to right top to bottom, unless the coords
are fixated by the app. A point to prove - that to start
cygwin/x on monitor #2, we would have to specify that
coordinate to cygwin/x, but neither of us know of any
argument startxwin would take to allow coordinate specification.

Since I do not know of such an argument to startxwin
(or its other associated methods of starting),
I specify -scrollbars. Somehow, scrollbars option allows
me to move cywin frame around the XP display area. Therefore,
I move the cygwin frame to an area what we would term as
monitor #2.

Since my "monitor #2" area is larger than my "monitor #1",
specifying scrollbars has the additional benefit of allowing
cygwin to start larger than the display area of "monitor #1".

I know of no better way than this to provide for my want
(and desire) to have cygwin frame sit on monitor #2:
run XWin -screen 0 1900 1400 -multiplemonitors -emulate3buttons -scrollbars
-clipboard -silent-dup-error

Could someone explain how to make the "@2" method work
to avert my current kluge to display cygwin on "monitor #2".
Or, is what I'm doing the only way cygwin currently affords me?
