Just for explanation: seyon, an X based communications application, uses the xterm program for it's terminal window. So you get the emulation that's built into the program you use. You could configure seyon (using x resources) to use rxvt if you prefer rxvt over the generic xterm (or use color_xterm or whatever you want). You would get the emulation that's built into rxvt as well as it's features (or lack thereof in the case of rxvt).
