I had simply a problem because I used to set DISPLAY to `hostname`:0.0 in my
.profile, and this prevented rxvt from doing its job.
Concerning environment variables and rxvt, I have found this :
Environment
 rxvt sets the environment variables TERM, COLORTERM and COLORFGBG.
The
 environment variable WINDOWID is set to the X window id number of
the
 rxvt window and it also uses and sets the environment variable
DISPLAY
 to specify which display terminal to use. rxvt uses the
environment
 variables RXVTPATH and PATH to find XPM files.
