Continuing this barrage of replies to myself... I was able to make this 
work the way I want. I just modified the registry keys myself, following 
the output of chere -p, and replaced

	c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe

with

	c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p c:\cygwin\bin -p c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin

I wonder if this might be useful enough to become the default behavior? 
Presumably chere is already able to detection the location of the cygwin 
directory, since it finds run.exe...

In any case, sorry for all the emails, looks like I could have figured 
it out myself...
