Use "run gv ...". > 2) All this is working only if I start IE from a cygwin terminal.

Can't say for sure, because you didn't follow the Cygwin Problem Reporting Guidelines from <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>. At a guess, however, IE started from the shortcut cannot find gv (or cygwin1.dll) because c:\cygwin\bin is not in the PATH. Try adding that to the PATH in the Windows environment, and restarting the machine. If the above doesn't work for you, please read and follow the guidelines from the above link.
