 I suppose they don't apply to the DOS console. BUT: Are you aware that the
rxvt terminal runs just fine without starting the X stuff?
 I do consider this be the best way to run cygwin-bash. If you do this, then
the .Xdefaults file -does- apply.

That would probably be some kind of "ANSI" or possibly "VT100"(a bit unsure
there) - most of these escape sequences are the same in the old AmigaDOS
