Thanks very much for the explanation, works fine now.

I installed rxvt-unicode-X and rxvt-unicode-common.
The postinstall script has run, /etc/termcap has been updated.
/usr/share/terminfo as well:

$ find /usr/share/terminfo -mtime -1
/usr/share/terminfo/72
/usr/share/terminfo/72/rxvt-unicode
/usr/share/terminfo/72/rxvt-unicode256
However I get "unknown terminal type" messages:

This is because some -- many -- applications have not been recompiled
since 4/2008, and are still using cygncurses-8.dll.  That dll used the
"old" terminfo database, in which the entries are organized as

/usr/share/terminfo/[a-zA-z0-9]/

The new terminfo entries are organized as

/usr/share/terminfo/xx/  where xx is a two-digit hexadecimal number.

Now, the rxvt-unicode-common postinstall script WILL install two
different copies of each entry, but only if you have installed the
old-style terminfo compiler program tic0.

Use setup, install the 'tic0' package, and reinstall rxvt-unicode-common.
