It comes with the rxvt-unicode sources in the doc/ directory; the file
being:  urxvt-8.2-256color.patch

I am, yes.

I did this, and exported TERMINFO to point to $HOME/.terminfo just to
be sure -- running strace as screen starts, the terminfo file is
indeed being read,  But *still* I am only getting 88 colours.

I've tried almost everything I can think of.  Again, why this works
flawlessly on my workstation at work, and not on my home machine is
still intriguing me -- it's the same OS, the same packages; something
is different, but I just don't know what.  :)

Thanks,
