I've found, and I've seen others on these forums mention, that since urxvt updated to 9.31, the cursor position might be in the wrong place, especially when the terminal is the full height of the screen, say in dwm where, if you open a terminal it takes all available space.
An Arch using friend (Q: How do you know someone uses ArchLinux? A: Don't worry, they'll tell you.) pointed me to the Arch Wiki page on urxt. They mention a patch for it. I tried downloading the patch and put it in /usr/ports/x11/rxvt-unicode/files. I then reinstalled urxvt using the port, it only takes a minute or so.
I was then able to open urxvt terminals in full screen and have the login appear at the top, not the middle. Previously, I'd tried setting geometry in ~/.Xdefaults, which worked, but had to be commented out each time I changed to using openbox.
I don't know C and I'm not a developer, so I have no idea if there's anything wrong or dangerous about the patch, but I haven't heard anything bad about it.
I'm debating filing a PR, but first I emailed the maintainer, and will wait and see if they answer.
Here's a link to the patch if others want to try it.
However it doesn't solve, at least for me, the fact that if I run less <filename> the file shows at the bottom, rather than top of terminal, depending upon file size.
