It's the job of the run command to hide that window, and why it should suddenly stop doing so when the XWin at the bottom of the process tree changes, I have no idea. This might perhaps be related to a bug in cygwin 1.7.12 where cygwin executables were wrongly handled as native, non-cygwin executables? > Separately, going from 1.12.0-1 to 1.12.0-2 changed my xemacs > icon, to one that is nearly transparent (there's something > there, but very hard to discern).

I'd introduced a couple of bugs into the fallback icon conversion code for a bitmap pointed to by WM_HINTS (which is only used when a NET_WM_ICON property isn't present) I've applied a couple of fixes, so hopefully this works better now. I've uploaded a snapshot at [2]. Perhaps you could try that out and see if that improves things for you? I suspect that the 'XE' icon from /usr/share/xemacs-21.4.22/etc/xemacs-icon.xpm is baked into the Xemacs executable. If Xemacs itself doesn't provide a way to change it, you could override it for multiwindow mode by using the ICONS directive in XWinrc. > xemacs -T xemacs -n xemacs -name xemacs1 & > STYLES { > console MINIMIZE > Eliot MINIMIZE > xemacs1 MINIMIZE > } > > These various commands / files all seem to be seen and used.

Using -name to set the xemacs resource name does not set the window class name, apparently by design [1], so this style directive will not match the window title or window class name of your xemacs window. Fortunately, you could probably achieve the same effect by adding the '-iconic' command line option to the xemacs invocation.
