can ot setup a background

[arnuld]

On Archlinux, I am using version:  rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v8.7 - released:
2007-11-25

I can't get a background for rxvt-unicode. The background pixmap is in xpm
format. all i get is a default white background, this is my ~/.Xdefaults:


! X-Terminal settings
xterm*title:				X-Terminal
!xterm*background:			Steel Blue
xterm*background:			#c48793
xterm*scrollBar:			true
xterm*cursorColor:			yellow
xterm*faceName:				Monospace
xterm*faceSize:				10

xterm*loginShell:			true
xterm*saveLines:			10000



! rxvt unicode settings
urxvt*loginShell:				true
urxvt*saveLines:				10000
urxvt*font:					xft:Monospace:pixelsize=12
!urxvt*background:				wheat3
!urxvt*background:				#c8bbbe
urxvt*backgroundPixmap:				$HOME/.local/urxvt_BG
urxvt*title:					Unicode based X-Terminal

urxvt*cursorBlink:				true
urxvt*cursorColor:				dark green
urxvt*pointerColor:				red
urxvt*borderColor:				pink




I even tried adding a variable as suggested by man page:

urxvt*path:           PATH_to_xpm_file


but that does not work either. The xpm_file is the symbolic link to some
XPM file.
