Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open urxvt
2. vim ./file

The first time the file is open, it blinks for a fraction of a second. It 
doesn't happen again after closing the file (but not leaving urxvt) and opening 
again. If urxvt is closed and then opened again the flicker is seeing when 
opening a file with vim for the first time. 
This bug was reported upstream 
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=747633O) with the workaround 
to change TERM variable to screen-256color, which introduces another problem: 
HOME and END button stop working as intended. 

This bug can be fixed by disabling xft when compiling (ie.: ./configure
--disable-xft).
