cygwin/x

I think I'm making this more complicated than it should be. I actually have Ubuntu 9.04 installed in my XP partition, on a Mac. I dont mind logging into Ubuntu to do my bash stuff but i'm primarily working in Windows. What I want out of Cygwin is the whole shebang from Ubuntu's terminal. Below is the packages I installed and now I got Cygwin/x and the rxvt native version but still no luck on having the full functionality of a linux terminal. Cygwin/x is actually pretty ugly looking too, is there a script package in there where it will add a gui for the background and fonts?

I'm downloading opensolaris and will try it out to see what it can do. Suck's that Cygwin can't do apt get, and other stuff.
