Oh, sorry, that is because a problem with the way that XWin and 'run' 
interact.  In other words, you can't use 'run' with XWin in certain 
modes, one of which is the mode that you are using.  Instead use 'start 
/B' if you are on an NT-based platform, else, you're stuck with a shell 
script for the time being.  Sorry.
