Durwin, I just installed rxvt, ran it as you described, and then ran
screen. I couldn't reproduce your problem. I've never used rxvt before,
so it's possible that my configuration is different from yours.
Have you tried to reproduce this problem in a different terminal? Have you
tried removing your .screenrc?
WAG is that it might have something to do with libncurses9. I'm working
now on rebuilding screen with libncurses10. When I have a new package I'll
let you try it out and see if that fixes the problem.
Andrew.
