Default X from cygwin

Using cygwins X thingy to run application from my linux box on my windows box...

in startxwin.bat you can specify different parameters for different screens. How do i go about specifying which screen the applications run on. at the moment if i type:

$firefox&

in my ssh session it will run on screen 0, as will any other app that i run. say i wanted to run firefox on screen 0 and kate on screen 1, how would i go about doing that (and is it possible) from the one ssh session?


the reason i ask is that i want to be able to run one application with the -rootless argument and the rest to run with the -multiwindow argument. I assumed that by using multiple screens (one screen with the -rootless arg and the other with the -multiwindow arg) there would be some way to do this, although after a lot of playing i still havent managed it.

can anyone help?
