Should we use "run" to launch startxwin.exe, or is it OK to just
create a shortcut to startxwin.exe?
In general, you should be using run.exe in Windows shortcuts. The Start
Menu shortcut created during postinstall goes a step further, running:
\path\to\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
IOW startxwin is launched from within a login shell so that it knows
where to find HOME (for .startxwinrc) and so that clients launched
thereby inherit a complete user environment.
