 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+    Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?
+        I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause
+        extra bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you
+        can see that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables
+        always being compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS)
+        after startup. Even with "--disable-everything", this comparison is
+        a bit unfair, as many features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding
+        conversion, iso14755 etc.) are already in use in this mode.

+        When you "--enable-everything" (which _is_ unfair, as this involves
+        xft and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11
+        and my libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.
+            text    data     bss     drs     rss filename
+          163431    2152      24   20123    2060 rxvt --enable-everything
+         1035683   49680   66648   29096    3680 urxvt --enable-everything
+        The very large size of the text section is explained by the
+        east-asian encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but
+        nothing else and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core
+        fonts that use those encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k
+        emergency buffer that my c++ compiler allocates (but of course
+        doesn't use unless you are out of memory). Also, using an xft font
+        instead of a core font immediately adds a few megabytes of RSS. Xft
+        indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when not used.
+        Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of
+        one, a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use
+        more memory.
+        Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k),
+        this still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like
+        gnome-terminal (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or
+        konsole (22200k + extra 43180k in daemons that stay around after
+        exit, plus half aminute of startup time, including the hundreds of
+        warnings it spits out), it fares extremely well *g*.
+    Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?
+        Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is:
+        I had to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a
+        fraction of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me).
+        Put even shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++.
+        My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but
+        in 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 in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to
+        write programs in C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large
+        libraries, but this is not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is
+        what rxvt links against on my system with a minimal config:
+           libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)
+           libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000)
+           libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000)
+           /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
+        And here is rxvt-unicode:
+           libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)
+           libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000)
+           libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000)
+           libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000)
+           /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
+        No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in
+        statically), except maybe libX11 :)
+    Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?
+        rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with
+        tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing
+        programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into
+        other programs, as witnessed by doc/rxvt-tabbed or the upcoming
+        "Gtk2::URxvt" perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt)
+        terminal as an example embedding application.
     How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?
         The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape
         sequence "ESC [ 8 n" sets the window title to the version number.
+        When using the rxvtc client, the version displayed is that of the
+        daemon.

         to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the
         Debian Bug Tracking System (use "reportbug" to report the bug).
            URxvt.termName: rxvt
         If you don't plan to use rxvt (quite common...) you could also
         replace the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one.
+    "tic" outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry.
+        Most likely it's the empty definition for "enacs=". Just replace it
+        by "enacs=\E[0@" and try again.
     "bash"'s readline does not work correctly under rxvt.
     I need a termcap file entry.
         One reason you might want this is that some distributions or
         operating systems still compile some programs using the
         that doesn't work, you might be forced to use a different font.
         All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their
         bounding box data is correct.
+    On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide.
+        Seems to be a known bug, read
+        <http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the
+        following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working:
+           #define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x)
     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 input method. For example, if you specified OverTheSpot and
         your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose
         As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl
         nor does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal
         representation of wchar_t. This is, of course, completely fine with
         respect to standards.
+        However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in "POSIX", "ISO-8859-1"
+        and "UTF-8" locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as wchar_t.

         Some applications (such as the formidable mlterm) work around this
         by carrying their own replacement functions for character set
         handling with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or
         doing multiple conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the
         emulator).
         The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in
         the system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app
         to carry complete replacements for them :)
+    I use Solaris 9 and it doesn't compile/work/etc.
+        Try the diff in doc/solaris9.patch as a base. It fixes the worst
+        problems with "wcwidth" and a compile problem.
+    How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?
+        rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using
+        the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no
+        longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a
+        single font). I recommend starting the X-server in "-multiwindow" or
+        "-rootless" mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as
+        the old libW11 emulation.
+        At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any
+        multi-byte encodings (you might try "LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8"), so you are
+        likely limited to 8-bit encodings.
     How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use?
     Is there an option to switch encodings?
         Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch,
         and no specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't
         it gets worse, as rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.
     Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?
         Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely,
         as it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to
-        disable antialiasing (by appending ":antialiasing=false"), which

+        lots of memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.
     Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong?
         Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to
         fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core
         fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It

     How can I start rxvtd in a race-free way?
-        Despite it's name, rxvtd is not a real daemon, but more like a

-        To ensure rxvtd is listening on it's socket, you can use the

     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

         Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite
         characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where
         accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by
         using precomposited characters when available or creating new
         pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
         The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation
         forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to
         be used (and tell me how these are to be used...).

-    --enable-utmp
+    --enable-utmp (default: on)
         Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start
         of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
-    --enable-wtmp
+    --enable-wtmp (default: on)
         Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at
         start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This
         option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified.
-    --enable-lastlog
+    --enable-lastlog (default: on)
         Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin)
         at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to
         also be specified.
-    --enable-xpm-background
+    --enable-xpm-background (default: off)
         Add support for XPM background pixmaps.
-    --enable-transparency
+    --enable-transparency (default: off)
         Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
         transparency to the term.
-    --enable-fading
+    --enable-fading (default: on)
-        Add support for fading the text when focus is lost.
+        Add support for fading the text when focus is lost (requires

+        Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds (requires
+        "--enable-transparency").
-    --enable-menubar
+    --enable-menubar (default: off)
         Add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with
         dynamic locale switching currently).
-    --enable-rxvt-scroll
+    --enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on)
         Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar.
-    --enable-next-scroll
+    --enable-next-scroll (default: on)
         Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar.
-    --enable-xterm-scroll

         Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar.
-    --enable-plain-scroll
+    --enable-plain-scroll (default: on)
         Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is
         the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many
         years.
-    --enable-half-shadow
+    --enable-half-shadow (default: off)
         Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
         only applicable to rxvt scrollbars.
-    --enable-ttygid
+    --enable-ttygid (default: off)
         Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your
         system uses this type of security.
     --disable-backspace-key

     --disable-resources
-        Remove all resources checking.
+        Removes any support for resource checking.
     --enable-xgetdefault
         Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
         version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
         then ~/.Xresources.
         Please note that nowadays, things like XIM will automatically pull
         in and use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it
         might be very small, if nonexistant.
-    --enable-strings
+    --enable-strings (default: off)
         Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other
         various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have
         been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link
         in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux
         systems).
     --disable-swapscreen
-        Remove support for swap screen.
+        Remove support for secondary/swap screen.
-    --enable-frills
+    --enable-frills (default: on)
         Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice
         to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may
         want to disable this.
         A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by "--enable-frills"
         (possibly in combination with other switches) is:
           MWM-hints

-    --enable-iso14755
+    --enable-iso14755 (default: on)
         Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see rxvt(1), or doc/rxvt.1.txt).
         Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by "--enable-frills", while
         support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch.
-    --enable-keepscrolling
+    --enable-keepscrolling (default: on)
         Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold the
         mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.
-    --enable-mousewheel

         requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified.
     --disable-new-selection
         Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
-    --enable-dmalloc
+    --enable-dmalloc (default: off)
         Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See
         http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this
         or the next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after
         compiling to point DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places.
         You can only use either this option and the following (should you
         use either) .
-    --enable-dlmalloc
+    --enable-dlmalloc (default: off)
         Use Doug Lea's malloc - which is good for a production version See
         <http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details.
-    --enable-smart-resize
+    --enable-smart-resize (default: on)

+        src/perl-ext/ for the extensions that are installed by default. The
+        perl interpreter that is used can be specified via the "PERL"
+        environment variable when running configure.
+    --with-name=NAME (default: urxvt)
-        Set the basename for the installed binaries (default: "urxvt",
