grr, i don't know what i hit to make that go out early.  let's try again!

so i use urxvt exclusively and do not suffer this problem.

what version are you using?  i have several, one that works is 9.06
and another is 9.09.

what is the termcap or terminfo for the terminal?  you're probably
using terminfo, so if there's no entry for rxvt-unicode in your
termcap file (wherever your distro puts it--mine (ubuntu 10.04 with
the 9.06 urxvt) doesn't even have one anymore!), what is the output of
'infocmp rxvt'?  i'll compare it to mine and we can try swapping if
they are different.

hmm, so you think that it is a shell issue, not a terminal issue?
(that is what the attempted solution above does.  have you made
certain that the shell does in fact become a login shell, listens to
.inputrc, and that your xresources are taking effect?  btw, you can
"source" the .Xresources file with xrdb like so:

xrdb < ~/.Xresources (then run a new copy of urxvt from any shell or
menu or whatever--that affects all of xwin).

what shell are you using?

well, if you are worried this is a shell issue, have you tried a
different shell so you can verify whether or not it is urxvt at fault?
 like, install and try zsh or tcsh and see if they behave the same.

i have no inputrc and use bash with a pretty stripped down bashrc,
fyi.  the only rxvt-related xresources i set are:

Rxvt.font:              -sony-*-*-*-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Rxvt.reverseVideo:      true
Rxvt.loginShell:        true
Rxvt.colorUL:           Cyan3
Rxvt.color4:            RoyalBlue
Rxvt.color12:           RoyalBlue
Rxvt*saveLines:         10000
Rxvt.cutchars:          `()*,;<>[]{|}\
