How to start rxvt via .xinitrc?


I prefer rxvt over xterm, and it's great that it works with or without
Cygwin/XFree86 running.

But I just discovered that if I start rxvt like I do xterm from inside
my .xinitrc, it starts up in non-X11 mode.  It appears to depend on
DISPLAY - if it's just ".0" it runs without X11, if it's ":0.0" it runs
inside X11.

But what's the right way to get it to start up via .xinitrc?  It seems
wrong that I should do:

	DISPLAY=":0$DISPLAY" rxvt -sr -sk -backspacekey ^? &
