Yes, I am using the emacs-X11 and yes, I started it (after starting

to get a shell environment inside of Emacs. But what comes up is not
bash. I'm not sure what it is, but it sees no cygwin apps: It doesn't
know what "ls" or "which diff" or any other GNU/cygwin stuff is. I
assume it is the DOS shell. Oddly, if I start emacs-X11 inside the
windowed mode (startx) and do emacs shell mode, it does see bash and
the rest of the GNU/cygwin apps.

I think the problem is that your PATH isn't set correctly inside emacs.
How are you starting the X server? If you use the start menu shortcut
(with target C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c
/usr/bin/startxwin.exe) you shouldn't have that problem. Notice that it
uses 'bash -l' precisely so that the environment, including PATH, is set
up in the normal way.
