     the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
     are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and
     unix domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.
     Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs

     2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you
     to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
     your picture with gimp or any other tool:
        convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.jpg

     other codes, too, such as "Ctrl-Shift-1-d" to type the default telnet
     escape character and so on.

    What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?
     Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the Backspace
     keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following question) there are
     two standard values that can be used for Backspace: "^H" and "^?".
     use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with
     keysyms.
     Here's an example for a URxvt session started using "urxvt -name URxvt"
+       URxvt.keysym.Prior:         \033[5~

+       URxvt.keysym.End:           \033[8~
-       URxvt.keysym.C-apostrophe:  \033<C-'>

-       URxvt.keysym.M-Up:          \033<M-Up>

     See some more examples in the documentation for the keysym resource.
    I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys. How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4 has the following map
        KP_Insert == Insert
        REMOTE=remotesystem.domain
        infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "mkdir -p .terminfo && cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti"

+    you might have to manually delete all traces of rxvt-unicode* from
+    /etc/terminfo.
     If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set
     "TERM=rxvt" or even "TERM=xterm", and live with the small number of
     problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different
     colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice
    I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem...
     The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large
     patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but
     unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to
     the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine

     For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
     probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a
     bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users
     that might encounter the same issue.
