================

i just grabbed the latest mrxvt05b, configured with:

./configure --enable-xft --enable-jpeg --enable-png --enable-transparency 
--enable-swapscreen --enable-24bits --enable-menubar --enable-frills

and the special character thing is still funky...

screenshot - http://smasher.org/tmp/snapshot136.png

on the top, i echo the alt-char set in normal and alternate modes. after 
selecting the line of normal mode output, it pastes as expected. after 
selecting the line of alternate mode characters and pasting it, it's a lot 
of white space, with only two characters being copied as anything (but not 
being copied how i'd want them to be). on further experimenting, some of 
the alternate characters are either not copied, or copied as null (is 
there a difference between the two?).

the other thing it's not doing as desired is only selecting (on 
double-click) up to the border between normal mode and alternate mode 
characters.

did i mention that C is not on the list of things i'm good at? i did poke 
around in the source, made a few changes that seemed like they might be 
the right thing, but i didn't even manage to make it worse. maybe i'm not 
building it right...? i'm not used to subversion... i checked out the 
latest version, config'd, make'd, and ran it as ./src/mrxvt. i wouldn't 
rule out my ineptitude at C and/or subversion as the cause of the 
problems, but if anyone else can test this...

         no more messing around with legislatures, presidents, or
         other bothersome formalities. When MDMA (ecstasy) was made
         illegal in 1986, no elected official voted on that. It was
         done "in house." People are now in jail because they did
         something that an administrator declared was wrong."
