rxvt-unicode no longer has transparency/pixmaps under 8.2-REL

I just installed x11/rxvt-unicode from ports on a machine running FreeBSD/amd64 8.2-RELEASE. But for some reason now the transparency (-tr) and background pixmap (-pixmap) options of urxvt no longer work.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

-tr works just fine.

Well, here it doesn't. I think I'll start by updating all installed ports. If it still doesn't work after that, I'll "re-complain" here.

This has nothing to do with FreeBSD itself. It is probably an Xorg/Window manager setting somewhere. Make sure you have a window manager that's capable of compositing.
 
That's not 'true' transparency. You only see the root background as a background in urxvt. If you want true transparency you'll need a compositing window manager.

Point taken. However, that still leaves the question where the "simulated" transparency went all of a sudden (pixmaps do work now, though). Could it be an i386 vs. amd64 issue?
