I'm using the following window configuration since b18-times. I start an rxvt
(X-version) terminal from inside my cygwin.bat)

rxvt -title %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%@%COMPUTERNAME% -bg AntiqueWhite -fn 6x13 -geometry 166x48+0+20 -menu terminal -sl 2000

--------------------------------------------
| |   Running program name             | | |   <- cmd window with running program name
--------------------------------------------
|__________________________________________|   <- Minimal height of 1 row
--------------------------------------------
| |   Rxvt Title                       | | |   <- rxvt window with customised title
--------------------------------------------      (X version of rxvt)
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
|                                          |
--------------------------------------------

So when running a program which spawns other programs in the rxvt window, I can see the
name of the just running program in the title row of the cmd window.
I always liked this behaviour. But since not long ago (I think it happened in the
cygwin-1.3 timeframe), this behaviour has changed. Now I only see the name of the rxvt 
executable in the cmd window.

I still see the original behaviour in a standard bash shell window.

If it's possible to get back the original behaviour in the above case, I would
vote against removing CYGWIN=title.

Or is there any possibility to accomplish this using escape sequences ?
