Not needing librote let me give it a try - and it's great!
I have a genuine serial terminal here that I put into use for reading
mail etc. and dvtm works great on it. It also remedies two things
that were quite annoying until now (not even using screen did help):
* rtorrent immediately crashed when it is exposed to my $TERM (even
when it was started with TERM=xterm and reattached via screen)
* ee was the only editor that did not mess up my terminal
Thanks to dvtm I can now use jmacs or emacs on the terminal!
Because the terminal is b/w only, I can't see which client is
selected. The attached quick patch fixes this problem for me.
Perhaps using double-lines or light/dark text for the borders would
also work, but I don't know a thing about ncureses - well, apart from
the box() and wborder() functions, but I googled that 5 minutes ago :-)
I'm looking forward to future versions of dvtm.
Regards,
Christian
