BTW, instead of Xterm and Rxvt you might look into using mintty from
Cygwin itself. It's a quite nice terminal emulator.
I use ~/.Xdefaults a lot (well less now...). My thought is: Is $HOME set
correctly for X? I would have thought an xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults would
be a cure all (provided you xrdb'ed it to the proper X server!). Out of
curiosity, what does ax xrdb -query reveal?
