You'd use a DOS path. Cygwin autoconverts (some) environment variables
into cygwin format; IIRC %HOME% -> $HOME is one of them.

Have you customized /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt ?

Also, are you using the shortcuts in <StartMenu>/Cygwin/ that were
created automatically, or ones that you created yourself?  The
auto-created one for rxvt-x has this command line:

C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/rxvt.exe -display 127.0.0.1:0 -tn
rxvt-cygwin -e /bin/bash --login

The "-tn rxvt-cygwin" command line argument always wins, no matter what
is specified in /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt or ~/.Xdefaults.
