No, I did change the "Start in" directory (the information was
copy-pasted from the shortcut properties).
In fact, C:\cygwin17\bin\run.exe started in C:\cygwin appears to work
better (probably because the Cygwin 1.7 run.exe launches the Cygwin
1.5 rxvt and ssh). Now the prompt appears but the tunneled X doesn't
work (which is as expected, because the X server is now from Cygwin
1.7)
