My main monitor is a 19″ Iiyama Vision Master Pro 451, which normally does not get setup automatically under Ubuntu or Slackware. Here’s the relevant settings from the xorg.conf file:
Section “Monitor”
Identifier “Iiyama Vision Master Pro 451”
Option “DPMS”
HorizSync 50-160
VertRefresh 30-115
EndSection

When running Microsoft Windows XP, I usually use the Blackbox for Windows (bb4win) clone bbLean as my Windows shell. A while back I created a couple of style files using snkmchnb‘s Granite Orange style as the starting point. The resulting files are available here and on the boxshots.org website ([1] and [2]). They should work with other bb4win variants and possibly even the original blackbox for *nix.

To use rxvt as the terminal in Cygwin:
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sr -sl 10000 -fg gray -bg black -fn "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-12" -T bash -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i
This creates a gray-on-black terminal using the Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font.
