I started the X-server with the menu shortcut (which has the execute
string you listed) and ... after ... a full minute it delivers a
stand-alone xterm. I then click on the Emacs-X11, and after a long
wait, it comes up. I do an M-x shell -- and get a "sh-3.2$" prompt. I
try some commands, and it only seems to know a few. "cd" does get me
to "/home/Olwe" which tells me it must have something to do with
cygwin, but it knows no other GNU/cygwin other than perhaps "pwd".
Next, I kill it and start Emacs-X11 in the xterm "emacs &". It comes
up fine. I do M-x shell -- and get the identical prompt I got in
xterm, namely,
Olwe@Olwe-PC
$
I type commands and they work -- it sees the GNU/cygwin apps fine --
but it leaves odd characters after it returns, e.g.
$ which diff
/usr/bin/diff
^[]0;~^G
The last string is not random, it has some method to its madness. For example
$ ls
dbus-4xiZFwCMPa dbus-U6vB5c6MSd dbus-hdtwMyVbXA dbus-yXQ8LOSIN3
^[]0;/tmp\a
Actually, I copied the above output and lost the ^[ and the ^G, but
they show up on the emacs shell output.
Next, I kill emacs-X11 stand-alone and start emacs -nw in the xterm.
Same funky characters. I try other consoles -- same funky characters.
Again, the windowed mode doesn't have these problems, just the issues
with minimized apps disappearing beyond the bottom of Openbox.
If I could just get rid of the funky xterm characters, I'd call it a day....
