Thanks for your details. Good point.

As said in the original post, it did work before. So I really don't have a clue what broke it in bash 4/cygwin 1.7.10 > You should reconsider your choice of NTEmacs over Cygwin Emacs before doing > this.

Well, drag+drop plus much easier install: For NTemacs I just copy the binaries to a new machine, hv a working GUI emacs straight away and can add the cygwin stuff only when needed, but for a GUI emacs in cygwin i need to install cygwin, X/cygwin, configure X, run an external bash and then kick off emacs - just in order to use a bash inside emacs.
