The standard solution to this is to use "run" to run your app.  Of course, on
Windows 7, MS has broken the functionality to hide the console that gets
created, so "run" doesn't always help there (as evidenced by the behavior
you see with startxwin.bat). So this is a MS problem that's searching for a
fix.
