Could I get a copy of that patch. I used to use xterm with 256 colors and
liked the colors better, but moved to urxvt for the improved unicode
support. Having the better color support back would be nice. Thanks.

Are you using the default terminfo for rxvt-unicode. The terminfo database
contains info on the number of colors a terminal supports. Screen might be
reading this and trying to run use only the 88 colors.
It might help to create your own terminfo database entry that should
override the default one and set the number of colors correctly in it.
Here's the basic steps.
$ infocmp -L rxvt-unicode > rxvt-unicode.terminfo
$ [editor] rxvt-unicode.terminfo
Find max_colors and max_pairs and change them from...
max_colors#88, max_pairs#256,
to...
max_colors#256, max_pairs#32767,
Those are the values from xterm-256color. Those fields should be near the
top of the file. Save it.
$ mkdir .terminfo/
$ tic -o .terminfo/ rxvt-unicode.terminfo
Hope this helps.
