And a related (or the same, I getting?) problem with fvwm2 and focus follows
mouse.

Specifically, if I have a urxvt terminal and the mouse is on the title
bar, page-up and page-down keys have no apparent effect, regardless of
whether I am using tabbedex or not.  This is different behaviour than
both the xterm and the rxvt I have on my system.  (And uxterm and
xfce4-terminal.)

To the original poster: using your favourite window manager and your
favourite configuration, does this happen in other terminal emulators
or just in urxvt?  My tests lead me to believe this is more of a urxvt
"feature" than a window manager issue.

Cheers.
