Somebody else has already pointed out that rxvt uses xterm's
configuration.  I suspect this is the problem, since I haven't done
anything to "fix" my keyboard setup.

This connects directly to the general problem of getting the keyboard
working right in all cases.  Haven't we got a committee working on
that?  If so, who's leading it?

P.S. Joey, my emails to you are bouncing.  I'm getting the "too many
hops to server" error.  They seem to be getting caught in a loop at a
machine called bfmail6.bigfoot.com.  Does this mean anything to you?
