Yes... you must recompile the package. I believe you can set what you want as default by editing the makefile, or a "config.h" type file. If you don't want to do it Debian-package style, just get the vanilla source, untar it in /usr/local/src, then install it into /usr/local/bin, and it won't affect dpkg. There are some other useful configuration options in the rxvt source, too, that you might want to look at. Good luck! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
