There are two problems with xmgace
1- For some unknown reason the .exe file is not in X11R6/bin/ as for all
other X programs,
but in /usr/share/grace/bin. In the first directory there only links
pointing to the actual file.
The problem is that non-cygwin programs do not understand such links.
2- xmgrace is known to require to run the cygwin command "rebaseall".
I hope that this can be usefull
