I'm facing a line-wrap problem with urxvt v9.19 on Salix (Slackware 
derivative); what puzzles me is that with the exact same configuration 
(.Xdefaults, bashrc, etc) everything worked fine with v9.18 at LinuxMint
I like the regular line wrapping, i.e., when you type or paste a line longer 
than the screen the line simple breaks and continues on the line; but what I 
see here is that the line shifts to the left and inserts a '>' at the first 
column

The problem doesn't seems to be related to bash or prompt settings, as the 
problem persists when ~/.bashrc is removed; setting PS1 to empty or to the 
default value has no effect either.

Changing TERM to xterm makes the line wrap "correctly", but I need 
TERM=rxvt-256color for tmux. 
Another problem with TERM=xterm is that the URxvt.keysym defined at 
~/.Xdefaults stop working.

I thought of the following approaches:

    a) ensure I'm using the same settings that worked on LinuxMint: 
          I've compared "xrdb -query -all" on both systems to check if 
LinuxMint has set any urxvt options behind my back, but for some reason this 
command doesn't show the urxvt.* settings.
          Is there any urxvt command that outputs all options currently used by 
urxvt (even the default ones)?
    b) on the list archives a Slackware user reported similar problem: 
http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2011q4/001437.html
          It was suggested that the problem could be related to termcap. I 
found on my system the exact same three files that were reported on that 
thread: /etc/termcap, /etc/termcap-Linux, and /etc/termcap-BSD. 
          But I have no idea on how to find out which one is being used, and 
which settings on those files could be related to the problem. 

Any help is appreciated!
