New description:

 The arrow keys are not handled quite correctly for any libgnt application
 under urxvt (9.07 tested).  While in a gntentry box, hitting an arrow key
 enters the following characters within the gntentry box:
 UP: OA
 DOWN: OB
 RIGHT: OC
 LEFT: OD

 Digging into the code, it appears the modifications in gnt_keys_refine()
 are causing the issue.  Removing the modifications for rxvt-unicode (see
 attached patch) appear to resolve the issue.

 I just wanted to add that i checked this into my gsoc.2008.finch branch:
