The standard answer to this question is GNU Screen.

Wikipedia has some alternatives, such as tmux.

You can use Console to achieve this. Simply configure the Shell under the Settings page to point to Cygwin.bat.

	thanks, it works fine! just a question: in the Settings->Console under Startup Dir if I set the path dos-like (c:\path\|...) or in *nix like (/cygdrive/c/... with or without /cygdrive) it doesn't come up at the specified path. Do you know how to set this? Thanks – Randomize Mar 31 '11 at 16:04
	I'm honestly not sure as it's been a while since I personally used Console. However if you can't find a way to set it properly in there, you could always edit your .bashrc file in your Cygwin installation to change to the desired folder upon login. – Gareth Mar 31 '11 at 16:19

mobaxterm might be what you're looking for - basic set of cywin tools (and you can use your own) multi tabs, and an x server baked right in
