It seems that the open start menu links don't work correctly anymore.

It seems that shortcut targets like 'C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe 
/usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/openbox-session"' need 
the new --quote option in run-1.3.3 to work correctly.

Thanks for drawing this problem to my attention.
