Thanks for this tip.

I donÂ’t think I managed to get this to work. This
seems to open a single big window for cygwin – which
is not want I wanted. So I then went in and added the
–multiwindow flag. With this, I again got that error
i.e. error dialog. 
	
	I actually want to find a way to execute graphical
applications by this method. So with this method –
even if we succeed, would not allow me to start up a
graphical application. So I went ahead and edited this
– so that it runs a shell script instead of XWin.exe –
however with that I either get the error dialog, or
nothing works. 

O.O.
