Subject:	Re: Cygwin/X failing to launch applications
To:	cygwin AT cygwin DOT com

Going back through archives I found this from a couple of years ago.

Seems to be the same problem, but there was no resolution posted.

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00439.html

At least I know I'm not the only one.

Just to be thorough, I just tried fully removing Cygwin, rebooting,
reinstalling but it didn't help. I still get the same problem with X.
