Greetings folks.  
I have been fed-up with the default GUI shell on Cygwin, being used to the
great Terminal that comes with Mac OS X.  Some googling around uncovered
that I should try "rxvt".  My experience with rxvt is pretty good, after
reading online some basic configuration tips.  But unfortunately I've come
across a deal-breaker and I'm not sure exactly what the culprit is.  If I
run a java program from rxvt and control-C it (i.e. SIGINT) then it seems to
kill -9 it instead of letting the program catch the signal to terminate.  I
found a quickie Java code sample online that anyone can quickly compile and
try for themselves:  http://waelchatila.com/2006/01/13/1137143896635.html    
save to CtrlC.java then type "javac CtrlC" then "java -cp . CtrlC"   and
then hit ctrl-c.  It works properly in Cygwin's default GUI shell but not
rxvt.

I *did* try searching the lists but didn't really find a resolution.
