But since my upgrade from Cygwin 1.7.9 to 1.7.15, run.exe only hides the window but not the task bar entry, when invoked from the Startup menu in some cases. This seems buggy, see my thread: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-07/msg00473.html But I don't have the impression that a developer accepted this as bug. Do you have a suggestion how to avoid this situation?
