[SOLVED] Any way to use i-beam with urxvt

The title says it all. After seeing how many people are using it I decided to give it a try. I have found out how to configure it for the most part with ~/.Xresources. Just curious if anyone knows how to change the terminal cursor from block to i-beam (if it is even possible). I am willing to recompile from source but I do not know what to change there either. Here is my  .Xresources if that will help.

urxvt*background: #000000
urxvt*foreground: #4E9A06
urxvt*geometry: 80x24

urxvt*iconFile: /home/dodo3773/.icons/mixtheme3/apps/48/utilities-terminal.svg

urxvt*scrollstyle: plain
urxvt*scrollColor: #262626
urxvt*troughColor: #4E9A06
urxvt*borderColor: #000000
urxvt*scrollBar_right: true
urxvt*thickness: 13
urxvt*saveLines: 65535

URxvt.font: xft:Monospace:size=13

URxvt.perl-ext-common:  default,matcher
URxvt.urlLauncher:      /usr/bin/firefox
URxvt.matcher.button:   1

urxvt*cursorBlink: true

Looks like urxvt only supports two choices: block or underline. I'd say go ask upstream if they want to implement it for you.

Thanks for the quick response. I will head over there.
