Problem launching XTerm on new Cygwin installation

[Mark Hansen]

I just installed the 64-bit version of Cygwin on both a desktop PC and a laptop PC.
On the desktop, everything worked as expected without problems. On the laptop, I
have the following problems:

When I launch a shell window, I get the following error:

Your group is currently "mkgroup". This indicates that neither your gid nor your pgsid is in /etc/group.

Also, when I try to launch an XTerm, I get the following message in the XTerm window for
just a few seconds and then the window goes away:

/cygdrive/c/Apps/cygwin/bin/xterm: Could not exec XTERM_SHELL=XTERM_SHELL=: No such file or directory

I'm starting the XWin Server using a shortcut with the following:

C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe
         /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c
         "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -emulate3buttons -multiwindow -clipboard -swcursor"

I'm starting the XTerm using a shortcut with the following:

C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe
         -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm +tb -sb -sl 5000 -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls /bin/zsh -l

I've searched for this XTERM_SHELL error, but can't find anything. Can anybody help me?

Thanks,
