You do call xrdb in your X startup files, right? This works for me:
rxvt*foreground: black
rxvt*background: gray80
rxvt*font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-14-0-0-0-m-0-*-1
rxvt*geometry: 80x49+0+0
The problem I have is that X application seem to want stuff from .Xdefaults
whereas others prefer .Xresources. So I put a softlink from one .Xresources
to .Xdefaults.
Hope this helps,
