I have installed cygwin, plus Cygwin-X, to c:\progra~1\cygwin. I have used it that way for years. However, I have noticed that when I try to run an X-Windows program using the pre-defined shortcuts in the start menu, such as xcalc or bitmap, that they will not run. When I look at the properties of the program I get this error message with run.exe:
Error: Couldn't find Files\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe" -p /usr/X11R6/bin xcalc -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 anywhere. I even looked in the PATH... It appears that the shortcut uses "C:\Program Files" in it and the space is causing problems. I have modified the startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh scripts so that the proper directory is being used but that did not make a difference. I can run these programs from the command line without any problems. It just appears that the run command needs to take into account that it might reside in a directory with spaces in it.
