Right, bash doesn't seem to pass through the -s args to its init
scripts.

I've hacked this as follows:

 1) In the registry entry:

   C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn 'Lucida Console-11' -geometry 80x48 -sl 300 -cr '#8b4513' -bg '#fffff0' -e /usr/bin/bash -c "XXX=\"%1\" bash --login -i"

 2) In my .bash_profile

  if [[ "x$XXX" != "x" ]]
  then
    cd "$XXX"
    unset XXX
  fi

This is a moderately embarassing/messy hack -- can anyone do better?
