Found it! The problem is that I recompiled rxvt, because the compile options that are used in the binary package don't suit me. Something I changed breaks the screen restoration.
BUG: I also noticed that the binary is compiled with -O -g. I think all packages should be compiled with as much optimization as possible. Carlos -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
