There's a lot of detail missing here, so I'm forced to guess what you 
are trying to do.

Assuming it's something like 'use cygwin vncviewer to connect to a 
remote xfce session running on a vncserver through a ssh tunnel', startx 
isn't really the right tool to use here, instead adjust ~/.vnc/xstartup 
to run startxfce.
