I can't guarantee this will work, since I haven't fully recovered from a
recent hd crash, but try the following:
Set your shortcut target to be:
run bash --login myfile
where
run is from my run-1.1.4 package. available at
ftp://belgarion.resnet.gatech.edu/pub/run/run-1.1.4.zip
and myfile is:
--------------snip-------------
startx
--------------snip-------------
Note: no "#!/bin/bash" . You don't need it when putting the script
filename in the commandline. Oh, and make sure that bash is in your
Windows path. There's probably a more elegant way to do this, so that
you don't need "myfile", but see if this works, first.
Hope this helps
