I don't know. I would have to download sources and inspecting things... Actually, what I told above is nonsense anyway. What I saw was the flickering cmd window from a urxvt-X startup without run. With run it doesn't start at all for me on W7, unless I start it from an existing console window. And in that case it doesn't matter if the CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag is given or not, it always takes 100% CPU. So, scratch that, it's no solution at all. I have no idea why urxvt-X doesn't start from my shortcut, which simply contains: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe urxvt-X -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls It sounds a lot as if I need a couple of hours refreshing...
