I do get them...

NOTE: NONE of the above shortcuts work for me

I do not use emacs (slow and ugly monolith IMO + I don't know LISP) nor
Python (never had a look, I use C/C++) and for rxvt I have a custom launch
that I "built" myself.

 So do I, but the last update of XFree gave me the above Start-menu stuff -
independently of unchecking those.

 Re-installed XFree86-<ALL> to verify; they're still there.

Some investigations...
$ cygcheck -svr >c_svr.txt
$ cat c_svr.txt | grep -i XFree >c_X.txt
$ cat c_X.txt
...
XFree86-bin-icons       4.3.0-2
...
$ cat /etc/postinstall/XFree86-bin-icons.sh.done
#!/bin/sh

# Run the script to create icons for XFree86 programs
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh

So, this is the offending script:

$ wc -l /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh
    124 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh
$ head -2 /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86-bin-icons.sh
#! /bin/bash
# Author: Brian Gallew < =email=cleared= >


 IMO this could check for the existance of "Start->Programs->Cygwin" and
install the above shortcuts *UNDER* it - if it exists.

i.e. some simple  if [ -d ".../Cygwin" ] stuff - assuming one can detect
where the Start-menu items reside... ("All users" + dependent of Windows
version I believe)
