I have used rxvt configured with --enable-transparency (adds support for
inheriting parent backgrounds which gives a fake transparency).  It seems
like most packaged versions of rxvt are not compiled with this capability. 

rxvt -fg forestgreen -fn 10x20 -ip

       -ip|+ip
              Turn  on/off  inheriting  parent  window's  pixmap;
              resource inheritPixmap.
