I think you really need the "--login -i" though, and IIRC the "cygwin" term
type is deprecated.  Here's the all-time best rxvt invocation ;-), which I
use:

C:\unix\bin\rxvt.exe -sr -sl 1000 -fn "Lucida Console-bold-14" -tn
rxvt -ls -e bash --login -i

Gets you color, a nice readable font, a 1000-line scrollback buffer, the
scrollbar on the RIGHT as God intended it, the whole shebang.
