     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.

   Rendering, Font & Look and Feel Issues
    I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?
-    First of all, please address all transparency related issues to Sasha
+    First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode,

+    rite of passage: ... and you failed.
     Here are four ways to get transparency. Do read the manpage and option
     descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!
     1. Use transparent mode:
        Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
        urxvt -tr -tint red -sh 40
     That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
-    support, or you are unable to read.
+    support, or you are unable to read. This method requires that the
+    background-setting program sets the _XROOTPMAP_ID or ESETROOT_PMAP_ID
+    property. Compatible programs are Esetroot, hsetroot and feh.
     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
        urxvt -pixmap "background.jpg;:root"
-    That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack AfterImage support, or you
+    That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack libAfterImage or
-    are unable to read.
+    GDK-PixBuf support, or you are unable to read.
     3. Use an ARGB visual:
        urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc
     Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the
     debian policy of using "^?" when unsure, because it's the one and only
     correct choice :).
-    Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the
+    It is possible to toggle between "^H" and "^?" with the DECBKM private
-    value of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode
+    mode:
-    wasn't started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell),
-    then the system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in
-    <termios.h>, will be used (which may not be the same as your stty
-    setting).
-    For starting a new rxvt-unicode:
        # use Backspace = ^H
        $ stty erase ^H
-       $ urxvt
+       $ echo -n "^[[?67h"
        # use Backspace = ^?
        $ stty erase ^?
-       $ urxvt
-    Toggle with "ESC [ 36 h" / "ESC [ 36 l".
-    For an existing rxvt-unicode:
-       # use Backspace = ^H
-       $ stty erase ^H
-       $ echo -n "^[[36h"
-       # use Backspace = ^?
-       $ stty erase ^?
-       $ echo -n "^[[36l"
+       $ echo -n "^[[?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.
     keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something complicated
     (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
     The above is all in my ".Xdefaults" (I don't use ".Xresources" nor
     "xrdb"). I also have some resources in a separate ".Xdefaults-hostname"
-    file for different hosts, for example, on ym main desktop, I use:
