Using the binaries for trunk rev. 116256-20140203 from 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/emacs-bin, I notice the following 
behaviour...

On Win7 (64bit), Emacs starts normally, i.e. without a DOS box, using 
the link created by "addpm" in the Start menu.

But if I add Emacs to the applications bar (mouse-3 on the Emacs icon 
and then click on "Add this application to the applications bar"), and 
then I start Emacs from that bar, a DOS box opens behind the Emacs frame.

Is this to be expected?

If I close the DOS box also Emacs closes...


Ciao,
   Angelo.
