That would be wrong. Better:

* Push for terminfo to include a string capability that indicates the
sequence sent by the Menu key. Push for the terminfo database to
include that capability for major terminal emulators.

* Push for rxvt to change its Menu sequence to something different
from Shift+F6, and submit that sequence to the terminfo database.

* In rxvt.el, change \e[29~ to the new rxvt Menu sequence.

Even better:

* Use a terminal emulator that lets you distinguish all key combinations.
