I recently updated to the latest set of cygwin packages, and something has broken the terminal icon when pinned to the start menu. When starting from the Start menu "Cygwin Terminal" icon, mintty comes up normally, loads my user profile, and the cwd is set to ~.
However, if I right-click the icon on the taskbar and select "Pin to taskbar", close the existing terminal, then open by clicking on the pinned taskbar icon, the terminal starts but it does not load the profile, the cwd is /usr/bin, and no commands can be found (e.g. ls: command not found). I have tracked this down to the pinned icon missing the arguments "-i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -". I'm sure this worked prior to the update, so something seems to have changed. I update fairly often, so this is something recent within the past month or so. I'm on Windows 8.1 x64 using Cygwin 32bit. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
