Looks good, I only have global and rxvt changes:
! Rxvt defaults
! Global
*font: "Lucida Console-*-12"
*font1: "Lucida Console-*-14"
*font2: "Lucida Console-*-16"
*saveLines: 1500
*termName: cygwin
*scrollBar_right: True
*geometry: 80x24
*loginShell: True
! Default
Rxvt.background: SteelBlue
Rxvt.foreground: White
Rxvt.colorBD: Blue
Rxvt.colorUL: Red
Rxvt.cursorColor: Yellow

Installing Cygwin/X does leave a menu group on your Programs list, called
Cygwin-X, just look at the properties of any entry... and yes, xterm is already
there. Perhaps it was in a separate package, not just installing X.
