I just downloaded and compiled the recent version (0.4.1) from the Mrxvt
Homepage (http://materm.sourceforge.net/) and it worked quite fine with
transparency. The only quirk is, you have to turn it on as its off by
default. The source package contains documentation and samples on how to
accomplish this and other "useful" features.
To just turn transparency on, add the following line to your
$HOME/.Xdefaults
---
mrxvt*transparent: true

Apparently not.
