hi all,

i use tmux (from CVS head if it matters) as my login shell -- this all
works really well.

i also use xterm as my primary terminal emulator in X11.  Before
switching to tmux as my login shell, i just ran plain xterm -- and in
my .bashrc i had a call to a program called "xtfix".  You can find it
here:

http://www.steike.com/code/xterm-colors/

as you can see, it uses xterm control sequences to set a random
background color of the terminal.

if i run this inside tmux, the script does nothing but clear the
screen.  i am assuming then tmux is unable to process the control
codes.  Does tmux not send them through to xterm then?  Conversely,
running this script inside GNU screen does work.

What's the best way around this? i am loathe to have to do something like this:

xterm +ls -T tmux -e 'xtfix && tmux'

Which just seems wrong to me.

Many thanks!

David
