Could not get exe error for cygwin / mintty

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I don't believe this is an issue, but  couldn't find any article on the wiki 
about it.

I'm trying to access a local cygwin and all I get is a blank tab and the 
following message in the log viewer:

"DesktopWindow - Could not get exe.  error=Access Denied, process=8184"

I have my mintty location (C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\app\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe) 
set in the options, but I'm not sure if I need to set anything else. The 
session config only has the option to set the hostname, which I'm using 
localhost and the connection type. Since I selected Mintty as the connection 
type, the Port is disabled.

I'm using the version 1.4.0.1 on Windows 7.

It's a known issue and probably safe to ignore (assuming it's not breaking 
behavior).

There's a call in the superputty logic to list windows but if the process is 
running as admin you get that error.
