I start the X server from the command line with startxwin. What I'd like to do is to set up a desktop shortcut for gnome-terminal. I have defined the DISPLAY=":0.0" option in windows, and from mintty I can start gnome-terminal with no problems. I tried to set up a windows shortcut with this command: C:\cygwin64\bin\gnome-terminal.exe --display=":0.0" -- C:\cygwin64\bin\bash --login -i I also tried different variations on this, e.g. do not tell it to run bash at all, run bash, but specify the POSIX path, etc. The result is always the same: a window pops up for a fraction of a second and disappears. What do I need to do to get the gnome-terminal shortcut working? Like the mintty (cygwin-terminal) is working.
