If you're _really_ obsessive (like me :-( about launching from an
icon, compile the following and point the icon at it.
Hope this helps,

[code snipped]
if (CreateProcess (NULL, "c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash -c
\"/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs -f gnuserv-start\"", &sec_attrs,
NULL, TRUE, 0,
NULL, NULL, &start, &child))
Ouch! Why not simply point the shortcut at
'c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c
"/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs -f gnuserv-start"'?
Igor
Because that produces an unsightly command window as well as the
desired xemacs window. That's what all the WinMain etc. stuff is
there to defeat.

Umm, yeah, ok, make that 'c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe /bin/bash
--login -c "/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin/xemacs -f gnuserv-start"',
then.
:-D
Igor
Ah, but I don't run X, just vanilla cygwin.
See you and raise you again :-)
