Yes, that would suffice for this particular problem.  I was just thinking that 
someone who installs xlaunch probably assumes that they'll get whatever they 
need for using Cygwin/X.  Since the user's guide 
(http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/setup.html#setup-cygwin-x-installing) describes 
xinit as required and xlaunch as optional, having xlaunch require xinit seems 
reasonable to me.
