Does anybody know how to create an icon on the desktop (or from the start
menu) that will execute a bash script without starting a dos prompt.
I have cygwin setup to start my X server by executing 'startx' from any bash
shell, and I would like to know how I can create an icon on my desktop to do
this, without bringing up a command prompt window.
I would like the script to do something like this:
#!/bin/bash --login
startx
