Today I updated 1.7.25.  I was a handful of minor releases behind at
the
time.

After the update, I can't start Emacs from the icon anymore.  The
shortcut
command I have for it is the following:

         C:\Cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/bin bash -l -i -c "emacs -
display
127.0.0.1:0.0 --debug-init"

I don't think this has anything to do with emacs.  There have been
several reports of problems with run-1.3.0-1.  Try downgrading to the
previous version of run, or switch to run2.

I first tried just changing the command line to "run2".  No change.

run2 is not a drop-in replacement for run.  If you want to use it, you
have to install the run2 package and read the documentation.  Or you
could run the script /usr/bin/make-emacs-shortcut, which creates a
shortcut that uses run2.

I already had run2 installed.  I ran "make-emacs-shortcut".  I moved the
resulting shortcut to the desktop, giving it a new name.  I double-clicked
it.  Nothing happened.  I than created a cmd window and pasted in the
command
line from the shortcut and ran it.  Nothing.  I then pasted in the command
line from the old shortcut, and Emacs came up.

I'd like to find out what went wrong with the shortcut created by
make-emacs-shortcut.  What's the target?  And what are the contents of
the emacs.xml file that it uses?

Target: C:\Cygwin\bin\run2.exe --display 127.0.0.1:0.0
/usr/local/bin/emacs.xml

/usr/local/bin/emacs.xml:
------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>
<Run2Config
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="run2.xsd">
    <SelfOptions />
    <Global>
      <Environment />
    </Global>
    <GDI>
      <Environment />
      <Target filename="/usr/bin/bash.exe" startin="~">
        <Arg>-l</Arg>
        <Arg>-c /usr/bin/emacs-w32.exe</Arg>
      </Target>
    </GDI>
    <X11>
      <Environment>
        <Set var="DISPLAY" value="127.0.0.1:0.0"/>
      </Environment>
      <Target filename="/usr/bin/bash.exe" startin="~">
        <Arg>-l</Arg>
        <Arg>-c emacs</Arg>
      </Target>
    </X11>
</Run2Config>
-----------------

This looks right, and it works fine for me on both 32-bit and 64-bit
Cygwin.  I don't know why it doesn't work for you.  Does 'cygcheck
/usr/bin/run2.exe' show anything unexpected?  What about 'run2 --help'
(in a Cygwin bash shell)?

% cygcheck /usr/bin/run2.exe
C:\Cygwin\bin\run2.exe
   C:\Cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll

[...]

% run2 --help
Usage: run2 [OPTIONS] xmlfile

[...]

Looks fine. I'm out of ideas. Maybe Chuck (the run and run2 maintainer) can help you if you want to pursue this.
