 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+    The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select
+    single words?
+        Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can
+        use the following resource:
+           URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
+        If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended more
+        and more.
+        To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this
+        pattern:
+           URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+)
+        Please also note that the *LeftClick Shift-LeftClik* combination
+        also selects words like the old code.
+    I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I
+    change/disable it?
+        You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
+        perl-ext-common resource to the empty string, which also keeps
+        rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
+        If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
+        identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the
+        section PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS in the rxvtperl(3) manpage. For
+        example, to disable the selection-popup and option-popup, specify
+        this perl-ext-common resource:
+           URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
+        This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
+        extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
+        scrollback search mode is triggered by M-s. You can move it to any
+        other combination either by setting the searchable-scrollback
+        resource:
+           URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s
     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)
         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
+        exit, plus half a minute 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
     I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this
     safe?
         Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably
         not bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of
-        freetype + fontconfig + xft + xlib + ... + rxvt-unicode itself to
+        freetype + fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode
-        all be secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options when it

+        when it detects that it runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice.
+        Besides, with the embedded perl interpreter the possibility for
+        security problems easily multiplies.
         Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on
         some systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra
-        privileges for ptys, but some need it for utmp support). If

         So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on
         your typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always
         remember that its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked
         for security issues regularly.

     --disable-resources
         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 (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
