I never got your original message because the submitters get mail only when
you send it to them, either directly or via nnn-submit...@bugs alias. Just a
reminder :)
The code currently does:
$config{terminal} = "xterm";
$config{terminal} = find_binary( $config{terminal} );
Since an auxiliary function find_binary() is used already, it could easily
be amended to figure things out. For example, the default value could be a
special string such as !terminalwithevents!, and a simple handler inside
the function would intercept that and check for xterm and rxvt in order.
If it finds neither, it can proceed to fail just as it does now.
