Description Frank Schmitt 2007-11-06 21:28:16 UTC

Description of problem:

Setting the background pixmap and backspace key with

Rxvt.backgroundPixmap: /usr/share/pixmaps/nebula.xpm
Rxvt.backspacekey: ^h

in ~/.Xdefaults doens't work anymore since the last update of rxvt-unicode. 
Other settings in .Xdefaults still work, e.g.

Rxvt.scrollstyle: plain
Rxvt.cursorColor: yellow

replacing Rxvt.foo with URxvt.foo doesn't help, too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rxvt-unicode-8.4-1.fc7

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "Rxvt.backgroundPixmap: /usr/share/pixmaps/nebula.xpm" >> ~/.Xdefaults
2. xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
3. urxvt
  
Actual results:

The specified pixmap isn't used as background image

Expected results:

The specified pixmap should be used as background image

Comment 1 Frank Schmitt 2007-11-06 22:22:30 UTC

I reported the problems in #rxvt-unicode in freenode. 

It seems afterimage support is needed for background images now, so the call to 
configure has to be changed.

The problem with Rxvt.backspacekey is unrelated. It is caused by a change in 
the resource handling. One now has to write
Rxvt.backspacekey: \010

Comment 2 Andreas Bierfert 2007-11-07 05:23:28 UTC

Thanks for the additional information. While reading the changelog I had a
suspicion in the same direction. I will see that I push rebuilds asap.

Comment 3 Frank Schmitt 2007-12-10 14:33:40 UTC

Hmm. Does one month count as ASAP?

Comment 4 Andreas Bierfert 2007-12-10 16:04:12 UTC

No. There were some other issues with urxvt that got me distracted. I will see
that I get something out the door today. Thanks for pinging!
