The notable differences in your Xresources and mine are: 1) the fonts. I use non xft. (terminus) 2) i have 1/4 of your scrollbuffer (4096 lines) 3) i use defaults,matcher as perl-ext-common, and don't use clipboard,selection or url-select at all.(matcher is a url launcher after all) Also, i don't use any kind of script to launch my terminals. Just a urxvtd -q -f -o on .xinit, and simple urxvtc afterwards.
