rxvt sees some resources but not saveLines

[don knuth]

Binary package hint: rxvt

I have several entries in my .Xdefaults that are correctly read by rxvt,
including fairly complicated things like keysyms. But the following lines
have no effect:

Xterm*saveLines: 10000
Rxvt*saveLines: 10000
rxvt*saveLines: 10000
rxvt.saveLines: 10000

So I have to invoke rxvt with -sl 10000 (and that works fine).

Am I typing the resource line badly, or what? (There's a still-open
bug from two years ago that says rxvt does/doesn't read .Xdefaults;
I am running v2.6.4, downloaded last November. Ubuntu 07.10.

I tried "strings /usr/bin/rxvt" and found that saveLines is indeed
a string inside the binary.

Hope this helps pinpoint the problem.

Thank you for taking the time to file this issue. I just tested this on a up to date Intrepid with the following entry in .Xdefaults:

rxvt.saveLines:10000

Is this still an issue for you with a current Ubuntu?
