FW: How to create an icon to startx with no extra CMD.EXE window

I don't think I made myself clear! When I said "ugly console" I meant
the cmd.exe console (possibly running bash). I think you are talking
about the initial xterm. The initial xterm is not a problem. How can I start X without running cmd.exe?
