Has anyone seen this problem, and can you tell me what I
should check?
You may have managed to hit http://bugs.debian.org/343389 . Try reinstalling the x11-common package with dpkg
--force-confmiss:

dpkg -i --force-confmiss
/var/cache/apt/archives/x11-common_*.deb
Aaron,
  Thank you for the reply.  I did as you suggested, but the error
remains the same.
Thanks though!

Is their any special reason your using rxvt? You can make the changes to x-term to make it look exactly like rxvt!
Example code:

xterm -sb -sl 200 -leftbar -fg black -bg white &

I do agree that if rxvt does not work right maybe you should file a bug report. If I remember correctly rxvt is a subset to xterm, and might not have implemented everything yet.

Gnu_Raiz,
Thank you for your reply. Below is what the system tells me when I executed the command string you suggested, from within a Konsole window. It appears I have a configuration problem of some sort.
