Never mind; I just read through /usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-2.7.2.README and realized
that Rational had set the environment variable
DISPLAY=:0.0
once I set that to
DISPLAY=:0
and rxvt comes up like normal.
NOTE: since I was using rxvt as part of my CYGWIN.BAT file, I had to do:
chdir \cygwin\bin
set DISPLAY=:0
rxvt -e bash --login -i
in order to make sure that rxvt worked properly.
