I don't know that this helps, but I use the stock startxwin.bat batch
file Cygwin/X shipped with. Using that batch file, I am free to close
down the Xterm that it starts up, without X dying off.

The only caveate is that this prevents a attendentless shutdown. When
you try to shut Windows down, an confirmation will pop up asking if you
are sure you want to disconnect all X clients. Even if there are no X
clients left running. Windows then sits and waits indefinitely for your
answer.
