This would be controlled by the contents of the 'rmcup' terminfo
variable. On my machine, where less and vim restore the original screen
contents on exit:

    $ echo $TERM
    xterm-256color
    $ infocmp -1 | grep rmcup
	    rmcup=\E[?1049l,

If vim and rfk don't clear the screen on exit, then I'd wager your
distro sets rmcup differently, or not at all (less can be configured to
ignore smcup/rmcup with the -X parameter).
