Continuing this barrage of replies to myself... I was able to make this work the way I want. I just modified the registry keys myself, following the output of chere -p, and replaced c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe with c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p c:\cygwin\bin -p c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin I wonder if this might be useful enough to become the default behavior? Presumably chere is already able to detection the location of the cygwin directory, since it finds run.exe... In any case, sorry for all the emails, looks like I could have figured it out myself... -Lewis -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
