Can I close the startx cygwin shell?

[Trebor Sreyb <tsreyb at yahoo dot com>]

Is there some way to run startx without opening a
cygwin shell window? Or, alternatively, to exit the
shell window after the X window manager has
successfully started?

Otherwise, I find myself having to leave open a cygwin
shell window that is used for nothing other than
kicking off startx - that window just sits there. 

This is only a nuissance (adds an extra icon to the
task bar), but if there's another way I'd like to
know.

I use cygwin on Win XP SP2.

NOTE: I also tried doing the following from Win XP
Start->Run:

c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c /usr/X11R6/bin/startx

but this also opens up an unwanted window that must
remain open.

Thanks,
