Hello,
If I start xinit, it in turn seems to start XWin.
My question is
What parameters does it use to start XWin? Where does it get the parameters?
Is it executing a script?

You can find manual and parameters for XWin from command:
man XWin
> Is it executing a script?
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh

RTFM! Do "man xinit" from the Cygwin command-line and read the 1st 3
paragraphs.

Bu
understand how all this stuff fits together, but I'm

I think you are looking for $HOME/.xserverrc file. E.g. mine contains:
#! /bin/sh
X -nowinkill -nodecoration -lesspointer -rootless
BTW, this all seems to be documented in
Thanks for the detailed explanation. But I think you can avoid even that
console for Xserver. I'm starting my Xserver using shortcut with this
commandline:
C:\cygwin\bin\cygstart.exe --hide -- bash --login -i -c startx
This way, console window just flashes for a small moment and then it is
hid
