Is it possible to run a Cygwin GUI app (i.e. requiring 'X') from a DOS
terminal, as opposed to a bash terminal? After starting the X server
I tried "cygstart path/to/my/program" but nothing happened. The app
runs fine if I start it from a bash terminal.
You have to set the DISPLAY variable to a valid value.
You also need Cygwin's installation path in your Windows PATH variable.
