Rats. So much for a "good enough" workaround.

Hmm. Run uses $PATH to search but it prepends "." and dir-of-run.exe, so
it really should find urxvt-X.exe. Three suggestions, in increasing
order of desperation:
#1: specify the explicit (cygwin) path to urxvt-X:
C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/urxvt-X.exe -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls
#2: also explicitly specify the shell
C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/urxvt-X.exe -display 127.0.0.1:0.0
-ls -e /bin/bash --login
#3: recompile run.exe with -DDEBUG. This will cause a bunch of
MessageBoxes to appear with debugging information. And then repeat #1
and #2.
FYI, one of my ideas for run.exe development is to improve its option
parsing and error message reporting, similar to run2's. (Also, support
--debug=LEVEL so you don't need to recompile for this sort of investigation)

Heh.
