Yes.   For example, if i do:

echo -e '\033[5mhello'

In both urxvt and xterm, it all works fine, and it blinks away quite happily.

Well, i wouldn't know what sequence gnu screen would need to send in
order to blink text.  as i said, the sequence gnu screen sends when
there are no color definitions to change the background color of the
hardstatus in gnu screen works fine -- and it blinks happily (by
default, the background color of the hardstatus in gnu screen uses
reverse video -- it is in this scenario the blinking works).   if i
explicitly tell gnu screen to render a background color for the
hardstatus, then whatever sequence is sent *fails* to blink in
rxvt-unicode.

It is this scenario which puzzles me --- since when running screen in
XTerm, and changing the background of the hardstatus then it *does*
blink --- so to my mind, there is something in this sequence which gnu
screen sends which *is* working and being interpreted fine by xterm,
but not by rxvt-unicode in this case.  Hence my original question.

Just for completeness' sake, i have asked a similar question on the
gnu screen mailing list.

Thanks for your help so far, Marc.

David
