    How do I compile the manual pages on my own?
     You need to have a recent version of perl installed as /usr/bin/perl,
     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.

     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

     3. Use an ARGB visual:

     report if that helped.
    My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working.
     The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set
-    correctly, or you specified a preeditStyle that is not supported by your
+    correctly, or you specified a preeditType that is not supported by your
     input method. For example, if you specified OverTheSpot and your input
     method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) does not
     support this (for instance because it is not visual), then rxvt-unicode
     will continue without an input method.
-    In this case either do not specify a preeditStyle or specify more than

     one pre-edit style, such as OverTheSpot,Root,None.
     If it still doesn't work, then maybe your input method doesn't support
     compose sequences - to fall back to the built-in one, make sure you
     don't specify an input method via "-im" or "XMODIFIERS".
     other codes, too, such as "Ctrl-Shift-1-d" to type the default telnet
     escape character and so on.
    Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works.

    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 "^?".
     It is possible to toggle between "^H" and "^?" with the DECBKM private
     mode:
        # use Backspace = ^H
        $ stty erase ^H
-       $ echo -n "^[[?67h"
+       $ printf "\e[?67h"
        # use Backspace = ^?
        $ stty erase ^?
-       $ echo -n "^[[?67l"
+       $ printf "\e[?67l"
     This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
     if you use Backspace = "^H", make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
     properly reflects that.
     use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with
     keysyms.

    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"
     One some systems you might need to set $TERMINFO to the full path of
-    $HOME/.terminfo for this to work.
+    $HOME/.terminfo for this to work. Debian systems have a broken tic which
+    will not be able to overwrite the existing rxvt-unicode terminfo entry -
+    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
         For scim, use "@im=SCIM". You can see what input method servers are
         running with this command:
            xprop -root XIM_SERVERS
    My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do?
     You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of
     the terminal, using the resource "imlocale":
        URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP
    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
-    version (<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce

     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.
