Perhaps there's a discrepency between /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm and your
~.Xresources? I vaguely recall having a similar problem a while back. I
did two things. I edited /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm so it'd be grey90 on
black, and sourced my .bashrc in .xsession to get DIRCOLORS. As far as
the mouse clicks in rxvt, I never got it to work. I think maybe it
doesn't take them??? I just use xterm anymore.
