Subject: at home, rxvt executes bash at startup, but not at work

I've been using Cygwin at home for quite a while.  I have my "rxvt" icon set
to execute this:

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -bg beige -sr -ls -sl 1000

I have both home and work set the same way, except I'm loading the "Andale
Mono" font at home.  At home, when this executes, it executes bash and uses
my $HOME/.bashrc and $HOME/.bash_profile.  I can tell because it comes up
with my login prompt.

At work, however, it seems to only have executed "/etc/profile", because the
prompt is as it is set in there.  It never appears to execute my .bashrc or
.bash_profile.  If I then execute "bash" at the prompt, that all loads
correctly.

I installed the latest Cygwin at work on Tuesday.  I think I may have
updated my Cygwin at home a couple of days before that.

What sort of things could cause these differences?
