I have had the best luck using the 'run' utility to avoid extra
consoles and other 'shtuff' like that.
Haven't seen any doc about it though so it may disappear.
Dunno the details.

For example, I create a shortcut for running X so that I don't 
get the extra console window where bash ran...

That shortcut runs this:
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe bash --login -c startx

Clearly your path needs to be setup correctly.
