And why do you require a "normal login shell"? Here's what I have for my shortcut that starts up XEmacs: "C:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe xemacs". Nothing else is required. I don't need to "login". I'm logged in already. I just need to edit files...It may not produce any difficult symptoms with XEmacs itself, but without that I don't get a normal login shell out of the box.-----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Andrew DeFaria Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 8:47 AM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: How to run GNU Emacs from Windows icon

You have not defined what exactly your "symptom" is WRT xemacs. You stated:Again, why run bash first then run emacs?Again, so I get a login shell. In any case, this has no effect on the symptom. I tried doing this without bash, and it fails in exactly the same way.
