Dan,

I don't know if this will help?
I used rxvt instead  of xterm because it was more responsive featurewise
(scroll bar did not work right with xterm).
I ignored the errors.
You may try a window in XWin that fits.

-------------
$ cat /cygwin.bat
@echo off

C:
chdir \cygwin\bin

bash --login -i

-------------
OEMCOMPUTER-41 pwd
/home/rwc
OEMCOMPUTER-42 cat .bashrc
#!/bin/sh

export PATH=":/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/gs/gs7.00/bin:"$PATH

#login --h

startx &

#finis

-------------
OEMCOMPUTER-44 pwd
/home/rwc
OEMCOMPUTER-45 cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/bash

export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
rxvt   -title cowaro -bg black -fg white  -sb -sl 1024 -geometry 140x20 -e /bin/tcsh &

exec XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 -engine 4

exit
--------------end
