Is their any special reason your using rxvt? You can make the
changes to x-term to make it look exactly like rxvt!
Example code:
xterm -sb -sl 200 -leftbar -fg black -bg white &
I do agree that if rxvt does not work right maybe you should file a
bug report. If I remember correctly rxvt is a subset to xterm, and
might not have implemented everything yet.
