Cygwin experts (any out there?):  What can we do to prevent this
from happening in the general case?  Can we put in a specific path
to the executable when we're running on Cygwin systems?

Sorry, can't help you on that one.  I don't run Windows unless I'm
doing Cygwin test installs.  Hopefully someone else has automated
this.

Are you able to auto-start Cygwin ok?  You might want to peruse the
web pages at www.cygwin.com to see if autostart of
Cygwin/X11/Applications has been addressed there.  A google search
might yield the answer even faster.
