I indeed saw issues when compiling the mrxvt.info file, and if I were properly motivated to learn the internals of terminal handling, might have tried to root out the cause, although I am working on other bugs I know something about at present. However, in practice, my system is happier with this mrxvt terminfo file than the existing rxvt-256color terminfo file. If you would like me to collect specific issues I could make a stab at it. Perhaps this file is not fit to be included upstream, but perhaps it can still find a place in the debian package. > better: > mrxvt|mrxvt terminal emulator (X Window System), > use=rxvt-256color, If this is to say that it should be based on the rxvt-256color definition, that seems reasonable to me. I am, however, unsure if that is your meaning.
