[Remind-Fans] wxremind: invoking urxvt with vim as editor

Hi guys,
I'm to the list.
I have a problem with wxremind.
I try to use the ability to spawn an editor from wxremind to edit reminders.
Since I can do this manually:
urxvt -e vim somefile
I want to do the same from wxremind,
but it always tells me 
"Unable to edit using:
'usr/bin/urxvt -e vim'
Check settings in ~/.wxremindrc"

Options I tried: specifying urxv and /usr/bin/urxvt, relying on %(e)s expansion, or copying the complete command to the editold and editnew variables.  adding and removing the -f flag for vim, remonving the "+%(n)s" part (which works manually just fine also, btw), ...

editor = '''/usr/bin/urxvt -e vim'''
#editold = '''%(e)s +%(n)s %(f)s'''
#editnew = '''%(e)s %(f)s'''
editold = '''/usr/bin/urxvt -e vim -f'''
editnew = '''/usr/bin/urxvt -e vim -f'''

I use wxremind 101.

anyone an idea?

Dieter
