That's what I see too. However, if you click on the Taskbar icon XP will 
show you a menu of the terminals in the Terminal group. Each one will be 
identified by its icon name. Is this not enough for you?

If I start, say, 8 Netscape browser windows they will collapse into a 
Taskbar icon group. The icon name then changes to "Netscp" which is the 
program name for Netscape 7.0. I suspect a Windows program registers 
it's name and Rxvt registers its name as "Terminal program" (perhaps 
through a dll associated with X as rxvt is X aware).
