I'm using the following window configuration since b18-times. I start an rxvt
(X-version) terminal from inside my cygwin.bat)
rxvt -title %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%@%COMPUTERNAME% -bg AntiqueWhite -fn 6x13 -geometry 166x48+0+20 -menu terminal -sl 2000
--------------------------------------------
| | Running program name | | | <- cmd window with running program name
--------------------------------------------
|__________________________________________| <- Minimal height of 1 row
--------------------------------------------
| | Rxvt Title | | | <- rxvt window with customised title
-------------------------------------------- (X version of rxvt)
| |

So when running a program which spawns other programs in the rxvt window, I can see the
name of the just running program in the title row of the cmd window.
I always liked this behaviour. But since not long ago (I think it happened in the
cygwin-1.3 timeframe), this behaviour has changed. Now I only see the name of the rxvt
executable in the cmd window.
I still see the original behaviour in a standard bash shell window.
If it's possible to get back the original behaviour in the above case, I would
vote against removing CYGWIN=title.
Or is there any possibility to accomplish this using escape sequences ?
