There are a couple alternatives you may want to try that will lend
you far more flexibility:
1) Run a shell script instead. Specify $HOME/.wmx/.bin/new-window
in your Config.h file (expanding $HOME to whatever it is, of
course), then put this in new-window:
#!/bin/sh
rxvt -pixmap ~/HOME/.rxvt/rxvtbg.xpm -fg white -bg black -sl 50 \
-title Shell -fn 6x13
2) Use X resources to configure rxvt as you desire. Define the rxvt
command in Config.h like this:
#define CONFIG_NEW_WINDOW_COMMAND_OPTIONS "-name","NewWindow",0
Then put this in your $HOME/.Xdefaults file:
NewWindow.title: Shell
NewWindow.font: 6x13
NewWindow*foreground: white
NewWindow*background: black
NewWindow.scrollBar: true
NewWindow.saveLines: 50
(I may have got a few of these wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're
correct.)
Finally, if the rxvt isn't coming out right, add "xrdb -load
$HOME/.Xdefaults" into your $HOME/.xinitrc file for force the
X server to read your application defaults when you enter X.
Hope this helps.
