New comment by MarcWeber on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/34442#issuecomment-1825703027 Comment: My view: - urxvt is not a default of user friendly distros anyway, is it? - open source should be getting out of the way, not into the way. Cause not getting your job done has a cost, too. - When it matters (eg irssi) they have their own checks - I am aware of copying from the net could be dangerous (so is loosing time). So maybe it should be the responsibility of providing/receiving sides to step into the way. Pasting 3 lines into a shell is a common pattern. Have you ever seen a PC "Do you want to switch on the speakers could be loud?" ;-) But maybe a link to this issues would be enough to have people find the solution fast and control their own ~/.X11defaults file. But the most annoying thing is that if you copy paste 3 lines from an urxvt terminal you get one line instead then ! So the behavior might even change in an unexpected way. I have been using version 9.31.
