--- Begin Message ---Package: rxvt Version: 1:2.6.4-6 Severity: normal Rxvt uses X resources for its configuration in a way totally different from most other X clients. It uses the name it is invoked under as the class name for getting X resources. (This is probably aimed as an easy way to get xterm-like behavior when invoking rxvt as xterm.) This is what the manpage says: Note that when reading X resources, rxvt recog- nizes two class names: XTerm and Rxvt. The class name XTerm allows resources common to both rxvt and xterm to be easily configured, while the class name Rxvt allows resources unique to rxvt, notably colours and key-han- dling, to be shared between different rxvt configurations. This seems to be outright false, as rxvt reads _neither_ of these classes when invoked as, for example, x-terminal-emulator. The documentation and the actual behavior should be put in sync either by correcting the program or correcting the documentation. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux xandru 2.4.18 #1 SMP Mon May 20 12:14:59 EEST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.ISO-8859-15@euro Versions of packages rxvt depends on: ii base-passwd 3.4.1 Debian Base System Password/Group ii libc6 2.2.5-14.3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii xlibs 4.1.0-16 X Window System client libraries
