	To find out why this is, run gvim from an xterm:

[SNIP]
m-ayers-lap> gvim

(gvim:1748): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD

(gvim:1748): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD

(gvim:1748): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD

(gvim:1748): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD
m-ayers-lap> 
(gvim:1092): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD
[/SNIP]

	Apparently, run.exe is not providing stdout/stderr to dump to.  The workaround:

[SNIP]
C:\mike>C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/bin sh -c "gvim >/dev/null 2>&1"
C:\mike>
[/SNIP]


	HTH,

Mike
