It's rather frustrating that there is no chsh, or worse still that the /etc/passwd shell is ignored and one has to resort to ugly hacks to get a desire(d/able) shell on startup. I've seen mention of a chsh here, why not include it?

Discovered for myself what's noted where as well
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg00323.html
the fact that bash is invoked directly. And switiching it to the anaologous
tcsh -l -i does not work, invalid option, so tcsh needs to be told to source
the rc files explicitly for some reason etc.
why not have the shortcut link run login or some such (like a terminal e.g;
the old --not even listed in obsolete--rxvt) to kick things off properly? Of
course that would require logging in, as well as the ability to actually set
passwords, etc.
