Achim,
let's hope that your update helps. In the meantime, using run version 1.3.3-1:
1) Issuing
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; /usr/bin/startxwin"
from cmd does not start an Xwin server; no error message is produced.
2) Issuing
run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; /usr/bin/startxwin"
from cygwin64 text console (mintty with some arguments) does start an Xwin Server. (Xterm has to be started separately afterwards, but let's hope that this is a different issue.)
Best,
Jaakov.
