Hello!
I really like urxvt. And I pass ~80% of my computer time in front of
one (x)terminal. So I like features ^_^.

Some time ago I used konsole and asked for "cursor styles", and the
possibility to change then via escape sequences. It become implemented
on kde4.

My motivation is this, inside *G*vim when you are at insert mode the
cursor is |-style, and when you are at normal mode it change to a
block-style (the default cursor of urxvt). And I like to have that
behavior on vim inside urxvt, because it somewhat more logical (yes,
after a lot of years using on command line you know are you next typed
char is gonna be put, but the | vs block make some sense ^_^).

I looked at the source code and looks like this can be implemented (I
changed the XDrawLine that draw the underline to (xpixel-1, ypixel +
font->ascent,xpixel-1, ypixel) and worked[somewhat, I get some
corruption]...)

Before venturing in more greping of source I like to ask if someone
with more knowledge about urxvt can implement this? Or willing to give
me some pointers (what I don't know is how a can implement a new
escape sequence, because after searching the faqs looks like changing
cursor type can't be changed via esc. seqs.)

Thanks!
Kazuo Teramoto
