I recently upgraded to the latest cygwin/x and my start menu no longer

a bug?
This should not have changed. Those start menu links should have been
created when the xinit package is installed, by the
/etc/postinstall/xinit.sh script. You might want to take a look at
/var/log/setup.log and see if that script ran successfully.
Heh. The postinstall/xinit.sh script has failed to run every time I've
run setup.exe in the last 9 months.

I guess something different than usual went wrong? What's the best way
to debug it?
