It's almost there. Nearly perfect.

Everything critical is working in urxvt and I'll
probably blog about the journey -- to help save
others time if they decide to convert
from another terminal emulator.

My (hopefully) final two questions will
take urxvt from "almost" to "awesome":

1. Switching between tabs in tabbedex: every move
(next_tab or prev_tab) results in the screen flashing
once before showing the next/previous tab. It looks
like the "visual bell" flash -- although I've unset
that option in the config file:

URxvt.visualBell:               0

-> Have you found any way to turn off the
screen-flashing "feature" when switching between tabs?

2. My xft font _almost_ works in urxvt, but falls back
to another font for certain letters. The xft font works
beautifully on a standard Gnome/KDE install. It may have
something to do with this unanswered question asked by
Aron Griffis (thread begun by Mark H. Wilkinson):
http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2009q2/001007.html

Also: the bug only shows up when the letterSpace property
is set below "-1":

URxvt.letterSpace:          -2

-> Have you figured out how to get your font working
with tight spacing (kerning) between letters?

---

If you have experienced and overcome these two issues,
it would be great to know what you did. With your help,
I'll finally take my urxvt experience from "almost"
to "awesome" -- and get started documenting exactly
how (with examples, of course), in order to help
anyone else who might want to do the same.

Thanks for any ideas you might have.
