 You can do that using cygwin too, "rxvt" can run with AND without X.
 .Xdefaults applies in both cases.

My cygwin.bat file contains this:
--
@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

REM set CYGWIN="tty" ; not needed for rxvt
set CYGWIN="notitle glob check_case:strict"
set HOME=/home/Hannu
set USER=Hannu

bash -c 'rxvt -ls -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i &'
--
I've also attached my ~/.defaults file, feel free to use and modify.

Hmmm... don't know about that.
