I recently discovered the great advantages of rxvt and then found that the run program is useful for running it from an icon. The problem is that run.exe is currently included in the X-startup-scripts package. When this package is selected for install, the setup program automatically selects much of X itself. Although one can deselect the other packages, this is tricky because deselecting one package goes through a state that sometimes reselects other packages. It is also unstable because when one goes back to update Cygwin, it wants to automatically add all of those packages again.
The reason that this is a problem is that I have made a lightweight Cygwin package for users of our software to download and install from. I would like to provide rxvt and run in this package, along with a simple .Xdefaults file and a shortcut for starting it up. X is not needed by my users (my programs use Qt). Could the run program be moved into another package so that it installs in /bin instead of /usr/X11R6/bin? Alternatively, could the dependencies be changed so that X-startup-scripts can be selected by itself without invoking the rest of X?
