You have to end its misery from the task emacs-w32 shouldn't require dbus-daemon, as far as I know. This sounds like a bug. Could you give me a specific recipe for reproducing the problem?

If it turns out to be necessary, which I doubt, you can simply put the following in your .bashrc (assuming you use bash as your shell): if [ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ] ; then eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax` fi Ken -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
