The simplest way:
 - create a shortcut on the desktop
 - open the right button menu on the shortcut, and
   select "Properties"
 - select the "Shortcut" tab
 - In the "Target:" field, paste in the command
	C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -screen 0 1024 768 -query
172.21.206.140
   (replace 172.21.206.140 with the name or IP number
   of your linux box)

You may need to add the "-from <addr of your windows box>",
that Alexander mentions.  I didn't need it.
