Well, first of all - thanks for the tmux, it's really great !

I have some problems when I use tmux:
SSH connections to remote servers with help of PuTTY:
1.
I've some trouble in case when I use UTF-8 on "FreeBSD-8.1 release".
Pane's lines separators looks ambiguous, see here:

As you can see FreeBSD sysinstall that use cdialog honor environment setting: 
NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 and draw lines at least in "poor man" mode.
(without NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 it looks like:

The same happened without using tmux, so it's ncurses problem, but could be 
corrected at least with NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1.)

So cdialog honor NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 settings but tmux doesn't and always 
drawing pane's sepaparator linens as series of xxxxx(vertical) and 
qqqqqq(horizontal).
PuTTY settings use "DejaVu Sans Mono" font that perfectly shows UTF-8 line 
drawing in Midnight Commander (and other)

I tried it with "TERM" environment variable set to: "rxvt-256color", 
"xterm-256color", "screen" in the ~/.tmux.conf 
(set-option -g default-terminal "rxvt-256color")
but tmux doesn't change behavior - pane's lines separator always looks like 
series of xxx or qqq instead of lines.

2.
Mouse handling.
Finally I got working it when I set in the ~./tmux.conf
set-option -g default-terminal "rxvt-256color"
Mouse works as expected in Midnight Commander under tmux (all three mouse's 
buttons), but I guess "op" terminal's command is blocked:
"ls -GlaF" isn't colored.
/usr/ports/misc/cmatrix loose color too.
"sysinstall" is in black/white mode.
But color test script return all possible colors under tmux:

But if I use the same programs without tmux - everything works as it should be. 

Strange things is that if I use "xterm-256color" in the TERM, then all program 
that I told above shows correct colors, but bad part of it is - mouse stop 
working. I can use mouse only on pane selection, but it doesn't work in 
Midnight Commander. "screen" in the TERM doesn't allow to use mouse too.

So, "xterm-256color" and "rxvt-256color" settings provide correct handling of 
colors and mouse without using tmux, but tmux applied some restriction on them.
"rxvt-256color" seems is the best candidat, becouse there it nessasary to 
unblock "op"(I guess) terminal command to be able to show correct colors and 
handle mouse in the same time.

I already tried replace base system supplied ncurses with 
/usr/ports/devel/ncurses with changed Makefile:
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--without-hashed-db
(in that case in installs terminfo database to addition to the base termcap)but 
unfortunately it doesn't change  - nothing.


Alex.

P.S.
I'm really sorry that I post first time in the wrong list "tmux-cvs".
