X11R7.4: XWinrc does not work anymore

[Danilo Turina]

Hello,
	yesterday I installed the fresh new X11R7.4, this morning I also 
updated various packages and now the menu on the X tray icon does not 
work anymore: the menu items (also within submenus) are all there, but 
clicking them does nothing (apart a brief flickering of the hourglass 
mouse pointer).

I have a personalized .XWinrc in my home directory, so I tried to remove 
it and use the system's default one: no way.

Only the "default" items work:
   1) "Reload .XWinrc"
   2) "Hide Root Window"
   3) "About..."
   4) "Exit..."

All the other items do not work, even the simpler ones:

	xterm	exec	"xterm"
	notepad	exec	notepad

(so neither cygwin application, nor plain windows application, do work).
So it seems that the "exec" items do not work.

I tried to gather some info about this problem:
   - by looking into XWin.log: but found nothing;
   - by adding items like this one:

	writesomething	exec	"/bin/echo something > /xxx.txt"

		or

     without any luck (the file /xxx.txt is not created)

I updated to X11R7.4 in two different PCs (with different 
configurations/cygwin packages installed/XWinrc/X configuration) and I 
have this problem in both.

I just wanted to know if this happens also to anybody else.

Ciao,
		Danilo
