Just to help the OP, I do most of what I do in X, but most of what I
do is text based apps (mutt, slrn, bash, perl, emacs, ...) and these
are my mrxvt entries in .Xresources (instead of ~/.mrx*):
mrxvt*foreground: wheat
mrxvt*background: gray90
mrxvt*initTermNumber: 1
mrxvt*initProfileList: 2
mrxvt.geometry: 105x57
mrxvt.font: -*-*-medium-r-normal-*-15-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15
