Indeed! (I think...)

I have various links on desktop (to start Emacs, mrxvt, xfig, etc.) like 
this:

C:\cygwin-2\bin\run.exe bash -l -c 'rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix; XWin 
-multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error &'

and 'experimentally' adding '&' reduces the number of processes, as 
shown by task manager...

interesting... I will give it a try. But, in any case, it would be 
useful to know what Cygwin guys think.


Thanks,
Angelo.
