Hi, since a couple of days I'm experiencing a weird problem with RXVT.

Let me detail my configuration:

According to "uname -a":

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 LEONARDO 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686 Cygwin

We strongly recommend 'cygcheck' output as outlined at the link below
when providing configuration information.

<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>

I'm using Win2000-SP4, and I've created a shortcut in the quick launch bar to start an RXVT terminal with this parameters:

Target: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e bash --login
Start in: C:\cygwin\bin

The problem is when I click this shortcut, the terminal opens and closes immediately, this doesn't happen if I change Target to: "C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe", leaving out "-e bash --login".

Also, if I open a bash terminal (in text mode), and inside it I call "rxvt -e bash --login", it starts as it should.

What can be causing this behavior?

In my environment, I could reproduce this across the board because
DISPLAY was defined in my Windows environment.  I can't tell if you
have  a similar problem but I would recommend looking for these
kinds of environmental differences between Cygwin processes and
Windows.
