My rxvt shortcut is:
C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -bg black -fg white
-sr -sl 1000 -fn "Fixedsys" -ls -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i
The --login -i makes your bash an interactive login shell, and will cause
it to execute ~/.bash_profile (but not ~/.bashrc). See the bash info under
Bash Features::Interactive Shells:
So, typically, your `~/.bash_profile' contains the line
`if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi'
Run allows execution of a console mode GUI program without console windows
appearing.
