For anyone out there that might be unsure, the procedure described above
does *not* start Cygwin's X-server as a service.  It starts Cygwin's
'cygserver' <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygserver.html> as
a service.  This service is not required to run the X-server.

The Cygwin X-server is started just as one would manually but automates
it by putting it in the startup folder.  Things started from this folder
are not services, though it is a perfectly good way to start the X-server
automatically.

For those that don't care about the distinction or the details, please
forget what I just said. ;-)
