But here's something interesting. I tried this: - "Pin to Start Menu" of the supplied XLaunch short cut - Edit to change the command to: "/usr/bin/xlaunch.exe -run /home/Eliot/config.xlaunch" (since I want to start things, not build/edit a config file) The full line in the shortcut is: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/xlaunch.exe -run /home/Eliot/config.xlaunch" This works, without putting in the explicit /usr/bin/ everywhere in the .XWinrc file. BUT: I get the "extra" icon I don't want, this time for XLaunch rather than for StartXWin. So the "extra" icon seems to have to do with the bash that run.exe is starting and the fact that the bash is still there as parent to the still-running XLaunch (or StartXWin). Perhaps it is because the bash does not start the program under it in the same way that run.exe does?
