		29	=item Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?
		30
		31	I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
		32	bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
		33	that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
		34	compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even
		35	with C<--disable-everything>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
		36	features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
		37	already in use in this mode.
		38
		39	text data bss drs rss filename
		40	98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything
		41	188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything
		42
		43	When you C<--enable-everything> (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
		44	and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
		45	libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.
		46
		47	text data bss drs rss filename
		48	163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
		49	1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything
		50
		51	The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
		52	encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
		53	and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
		54	encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
		55	compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
		56	memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
		57	few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when
		58	not used.
		59
		60	Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
		61	a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
		62	memory.
		63
		64	Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
		65	still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
		66	(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
		67	43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half aminute of
		68	startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
		69	extremely well g.
		70
		71	=item Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?
		72
		73	Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
		74	to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
		75	of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
		76	shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++.
		77
		78	My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in
		79	the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
		80	are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
		81	domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.
		82
		83	Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
		84	in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
		85	C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
		86	not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my
		87	system with a minimal config:
		88
		89	libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)
		90	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000)
		91	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000)
		92	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
		93
		94	And here is rxvt-unicode:
		95
		96	libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)
		97	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000)
		98	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000)
		99	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000)
		100	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
		101
		102	No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically),
		103	except maybe libX11 :)
		104
		105	=item Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?
		106
		107	rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with
		108	tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing programs,
		109	and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into other programs,
		110	as witnessed by F<doc/rxvt-tabbed> or the upcoming C<Gtk2::URxvt> perl
		111	module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt) terminal as an example
		112	embedding application.

		123	The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large

		127	and try to reproduce the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the
		128	problems are specific to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be
		129	reported via the Debian Bug Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report
		130	the bug).
		131
		132	For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
		133	probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a
		134	bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that
		135	might encounter the same issue.
