FWIW I always add rxvt (taken from Cygwin's repos) so that I can launch an
'xterm' alike from the usual shortcut by having this as the command in
Cygwin.bat:
rxvt -sr -sl 2500 -sb -geometry 90x30 -fg wheat -bg gray10 -tn rxvt \
-fn 'Lucida Console-14' -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i
The last time I set that up I left myself a note that I got hints from
http://blasphemousbits.wordpress.com/2007/02/12/rxvt-solves-many-cygwin-woes/
and
also see http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/tag/cygwin/
Those links may by now be stale.
