transparent urxvt visual bug

Urxvt has a bug that occurs when transparency is enabled and a tiling window manager (like xmonad) is used. There is a gap between the bottom of the text and the bottom of the window that is not drawn correctly when the window size is not a multiple of the font size. There is a fix posted on the rxvt-unicode mailing list that has not (to my knowledge) made it into the code yet. I can confirm that this fix works, and that it's not in the rxvt-unicode in testing. I'd like to see the patch added to the Arch package until such time as the patch is applied upstream because it's a really irritating bug.

The patch is located here: http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt- … 00552.html

Thanks in advance.

Now I just need to fix midnight commander....

Please submit a bug report. Several devs don't read the forum regularly.
