162.IX Item "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?"
163You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
164\&\fBperl-ext-common\fR resource to the empty string, which also keeps
165rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
166.Sp
167If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
168identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
169\&\fB\s-1PREPACKAGED\s0 \s-1EXTENSIONS\s0\fR in the @@RXVT_NAME@@\fIperl\fR\|(3) manpage. For
170example, to disable the \fBselection-popup\fR and \fBoption-popup\fR, specify
171this \fBperl-ext-common\fR resource:
172.Sp
173.Vb 1
174\& URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
175.Ve
176.Sp
177This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
178extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
179scrollback search mode is triggered by \fBM\-s\fR. You can move it to any
180other combination either by setting the \fBsearchable-scrollback\fR resource:

185.IP "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?" 4
186.IX Item "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?"
187I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
188bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
189that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
190compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (\s-1RSS\s0) after startup. Even
191with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
192features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
193already in use in this mode.

200.Sp
201When you \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
202and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
203libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.

209.Ve
210.Sp
211The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
212encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
213and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
214encodings. The \s-1BSS\s0 size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
215compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
216memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
217few megabytes of \s-1RSS\s0. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of \s-1RSS\s0 even when
218not used.
219.Sp
220Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
221a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
222memory.
223.Sp
224Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
225still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
226(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
22743180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
228startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
229extremely well *g*.
230.IP "Why \*(C+, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?" 4
231.IX Item "Why , isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?"
232Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
233to write it, and \*(C+ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
234of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
235shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without \*(C+.
236.Sp
237My personal stance on this is that \*(C+ is less portable than C, but in
238the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
239are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
240domain sockets, which are all less portable than \*(C+ itself.
241.Sp
242Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
243in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
244\&\*(C+ that don't. \*(C+ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
245not necessarily the case with \s-1GCC\s0. Here is what rxvt links against on my
246system with a minimal config:

267.IP "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt\-unicode?" 4
268.IX Item "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?"
269rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with
270tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing programs,
271and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into other programs,
272as witnessed by \fIdoc/rxvt\-tabbed\fR or the upcoming \f(CW\*(C`Gtk2::URxvt\*(C'\fR perl
273module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt) terminal as an example
274embedding application.

296.IP "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS \s-1XXX\s0, any recommendation?" 4
297.IX Item "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?"
298You should build one binary with the default options. \fIconfigure\fR
299now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
300runtime\-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
301except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
302be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
303the future) depends on it.
304.Sp
305You should not overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR snd \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\*(C'\fR resources
306system-wide (except maybe with \f(CW\*(C`defaults\*(C'\fR). This will result in useful
307behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
308\&\f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
309perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.
310.Sp
311If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
312one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with
313\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
314encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).
315.IP "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my \s-1OS\s0, is this safe?" 4
316.IX Item "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?"
317Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably not
318bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of freetype
319+ fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode itself to all be
320secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options when it detects that it
321runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice. Besides, with the embedded perl
322interpreter the possibility for security problems easily multiplies.
323.Sp
324Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on some
325systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra privileges for
326ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is planned to mvoe this into
327a forked handler process, but this is not yet done.
328.Sp
329So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on your
330typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always remember that
331its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked for security issues
332regularly.
