I have the following menu items in my .XWinrc:

/bin/bash -l -I"
Which have been working for months .
Today I upgraded my cygwin install and all my menu items like the above no
longer work.
(as noted above I've tried both simply urxvtc-X and /bin/urxvtc-X
If, however, I open up a command window using rxvt and then enter the above
Line (by copy and paste) it works fine.
My first guess was that the urxvt daemon (urxvtd-X) was not running, so
the client failed. But if you can launch the client using some
incantation, then that means the daemon is running.
Note, menu items like:
Xterm exec "xterm"
Work correctly,
While menu items such as:
Notepad exec "notepad"
Do not.
Ah. Here's the clue: launching a native win32 program fails. I bet this
is related to the change in cygwin-1.7.6 where the cygwin "current
working directory" and the win32 CWD are no longer automatically kept in
sync (there are good reasons for this new behavior).
This change has caused a number of problems, and it is not yet clear how
they will be resolved. Stay tuned to the main cygwin list -- and
meanwhile, revert to cygwin-1.7.5.
