Big big big sigh.
And a big sorry for the hassle.
My only excuse is that I'm currently distracted by another project at my
company.
It turns out that all three attempts, starting with my NUL: patch, over
your previous one, up to this one work fine in all cases under W7.
XWin works, xterm works, gvim works, urxvt works (and doesn't take 100%
CPU). Starting emacs with `run emacs-X11' works.
I made a dumb mistake when testing the `run bash -c emacs' variation.
It didn't work before with my and your former attempt because I failed
to add correct quotation.
This fails:
run bash -c -l emacs --display=127.0.0.1:0.0
This works with all three variations:
run bash -c -l "emacs --display=127.0.0.1:0.0"
See the small difference?
`run startemacs.bat' also works fine. It didn't work for me because I
took the file content as is, without realizing that the Cygwin root dir
was set to C:\cygwin-1.7 in the script, while it's C:\cygwin on my
machine. Urgh.
Again, sorry for the confusion. :(
