I think this is saying that using the start menu shortcuts doesn't work, 
but I'm not sure.

How about leaving out all command-line args completely?

This tends to argue against that you were using 1.17.1-5 previously, or 
that other things e.g. the cygwin DLL were upgraded at the same time.

Can you provide the logfile written by 'strace -o logfile XWin 
-multiwindow' which might shed some light.
