I bring up X (along with the first xterm window) by using this
Windows-XP shortcut:

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe
-- -nolock"

After, I do everything through said xterm window.

Opening emacs by right clicking the X tray icon produces similar
results to doing so through the command line: it takes a very long
time.
