"#rxvt-unicode" has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might be
interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not FAQs :).
+ I use Gentoo, and I have a problem...
+ There are three big problems with Gentoo Linux: first of all, most if
+ not all Gentoo systems are completely broken (missing or mismatched
+ header files, broken compiler etc. are just the tip of the iceberg);
+ secondly, the Gentoo maintainer thinks it is a good idea to add broken
+ patches to the code; and lastly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux.
+
+ For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on Gentoo.
+ Problems appearing on Gentoo systems will usually simply be ignored
+ unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems.

Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?
Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these
In this case either do not specify a preeditStyle or specify more than
one pre-edit style, such as OverTheSpot,Root,None.

I cannot type "Ctrl-Shift-2" to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO 14755
