Hello, all. Since RedHat decided not to package rxvt w/ 8.0 (probably not a bad choice, as it appears rxvt is dead in the water since 4/2000), I went out looking for a new terminal client to use in XFCE. xterm works, more or less, but I guess I've never really liked it, probably since it always has such butt-ugly default colors in most distros. aterm was a possible choice, but it hasn't been touched since sometime in 2001 either. So I went w/ Multi-Gnome-Terminal, which has about everything I need, plus no need for umpteen windows open at the same time since I can use tabs. First problem was getting screen to play nicely, which required setting the locale back to 'C' (thanks Jesse!!), and now for the next problem child: slrn. Slrn fired up ok, and worked rather nicely, until I went to expand a thread. In MGT, using screen, it showed the infamous 'mq> instead of '->' for the threading arrows. In MGT w/ no screen, it showed some kind of funky dotted box, kind of like what you see in some html articles instead of a " ' ". In xterm it worked as advertised. One other slrn question: on a terminal client w/ a transparent background, how do I get slrn to stop showing the solid black background and use the background of the terminal?
