Today I decided to try urxvt-X to see if I like it better than xterm. After installing it, I noticed a couple of things that seemed odd, and am wondering whether or not these are intentional behaviors.
First, it did not install its own compiled terminfo file in /usr/share/terminfo/r. I noticed that the source for the terminfo file was installed to /etc/terminfo, so I compiled it and copied rxvt-unicode to /usr/share/terminfo/r (from /usr/share/terminfo/72). This seemed to work for getting programs (such as emacs) to find the terminfo. But it seems like this should all happen automagically upon installing urxvt-X (for example, I never had to do this with xterm). The other odd thing I noticed is that for some reason in Bash the readline functionality "horizontal-scroll-mode" defaults to "on" when running inside urxvt-X. Normally this should default to "off" (as per the Bash man page). When running Bash in an xterm window, it is set "off" by default as expected. I had to manually turn it off in .inputrc when using urxvt-X. Any comments are appreciated.
