OK, it looks like loading dbus.el is where it fails when following the instructions given in this URL: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00892.html I guess this step is not necessary but emacs shouldn't hang. Here's the steps I followed: $ eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax` $ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS unix:path=/tmp/dbus-dlr0QTU52y,guid=2ed2e65c8040f348d71319f94cc36ca0 $ xterm & # This gives me a new xterm with "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" set.
