no more result... gvim process is still started, appears in ps -a, but
nothing is displayed on screen, replacing gvim by xterm still work
with this solution...
To find out why this is, run gvim from an xterm:
[SNIP]
m-ayers-lap> gvim
(gvim:1748): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD
(gvim:1748): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD
(gvim:1748): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD

m-ayers-lap>
(gvim:1092): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD
[/SNIP]
Apparently, run.exe is not providing stdout/stderr to dump to. The
workaround:
[SNIP]
C:\mike>C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/bin sh -c "gvim>/dev/null 2>&1"
C:\mike>
[/SNIP]
Wait, are you saying that the process that run starts is blocked if it tries
to output anything?
Also, the suggestions that this has something to do with DISPLAY not being set
correctly seem a little unlikely. If gvim or any other X application isn't
able to determine which display to use, it should exit with an error, not hang
around....
