Running cvs emacs on windows xp i have problems starting graphical applications. Looking at the process list it seems the programs do start but they do not display until after i presses RET a few times in the *shell* buffer. I have no idea what could be causing this. It seems to affect all graphical applications. To reproduce try this: make sure the environment variable SHELL is not set emacs.exe -Q M-x shell calc.exe now it seems calc.exe is started, at least the process is there press a few times RET (between 3 and 8 times) now the calc application does appear.
