> Unlike xterm from xsrc, rxvt doesn't handle the mentioned keys correctly. For example when running "mp3blaster" or "mutt" (from pkgsrc) in xterm the apps react like excepted when pressing this keys, but not in rxvt. The keyboards are 105-key with a german layout, connected through USB and PS/2.

You didn't say anything about setting TERM, so I guess
that is your problem.
Try
export TERM=rxvt
in the rxvt terminal window (TERM must always match
the actual terminal).
