So, just what is a user supposed to think when reading the documentation.
When I did the install, I told it not to install the desktop shortcut, as I already have one. There was no indication during the install to inform the user that mintty is now the default startup, instead of cygwin.bat.
At this point in time, I have no clue as to how to set up cygwin to use it, just to see what it is like. The rxvt program has been working for me.
