Hi, I just tried cygwin (1.5.25) on the Windows 7 RC for the first time. Seems to work fine from a Windows cmd window, but I can't get it to run an rxvt window launched directly from Windows. In previous Vista and XP installations I used a Windows shortcut to run the command "C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /usr/bin/bash.exe --login -i" but that is not working on my Windows 7 RC system - the rxvt window opens then immediately closes. If it is reporting any error message it doesn't stay open long enough for me to see it.
I get the same if I enter "C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /usr/bin/bash.exe --login -i" in a Windows cmd window, but if I launch cygwin in a cmd window and then enter "/bin/rxvt.exe -e /usr/bin/bash.exe --login -i" in bash then that works. Any ideas on what the problem is or on how to get some info on what's going wrong when it fails?
