Yes of course, it does that always.

Then I can start it by clicking on the shortcut, but not from within a
bash, i.e. I can't start it automatically from a shell-script.

Thank you, this solved my Problem!
In case you wonder why I absolutely wanted to do something like this:
I had to customize some pull down menus of the tool SNiFF 3.1 (by
Takefive-software). To customize such a pull down menu, one has to
write a shell script, which will be started in a sub shell from within
the terminal window of SNiFF. SNiFF 3.1 runs a cygwin-bash in it's
terminal-window, but this terminal-window is severely broken. Command
line editing doesn't work and especially if the sub shell needs user
input, the input isn't echoed by the SNiFF terminal. This is very
confusing to the users and it is difficult to type correctly.
Therefore I needed a way to escape from a shell script running in a
sub shell running in the SNiFF terminal emulator into a new terminal
emulator which is not so broken and can accept user input correctly.
Yours sincerly,
Mike Fabian
