Hi Dave,

No, I have no problems with graphical applications.

My scripts run a variety of commands, mostly cygwin,
but some applications run in a DOS shell.

To elaborate, I run bash, and inside this shell I start ActiveState Perl,
which of course knows nothing about Cygwin. The script run by
ActiveState's Perl, then starts system or `` commands, and it is
from there that I get command boxes.

I have run a small test :
$ /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/perl -e "system \"dir\""

and this pops up a DOS command box while the command
executes.

I did not have that before, and the only thing changed was
the upgrade to Cygwin 1.5.11.

Regards,

Jurgen

  Yeh?  Do you mean if you're at the prompt in a bash shell, and you type
"notepad" or "calc" and press return, then a cmd.exe box appears?

  I think it's neither the result of a setting nor a bug of 1.5.11; I 
think it's
down to something you haven't yet told us about the exact fashion in which 
you
are "starting a non-cygwin process inside a cygwin process".


    cheers, 
      DaveK
