The current behavior of urxvt is to produce terminals of different widths depending on underlying xft libraries, whereas gnome-terminal seems to maintain consistency across library versions. IMHO your patch is a good one but would be better if urxvt provided a consistent starting point, otherwise the user has to adjust preferences every time they update their system. In other words, while I understand your reluctance to dig further into gnome-terminal's behavior, I think it would be worth someone's while...
