[SOLVED] Can't type in URxvt, other problems.

Hey everyone. Recently I've finally decided to stop using my ugly old xterm hotkey and want to embed a terminal into the Desktop. Now, I've done this, and it IS transparent, but I cannot type in it. My cursor does change to a text select one, and I can highlight lines in the terminal, just can't type any.

Also, is there a way to put it below all windows? Currently it displays on top of all of them. Using xcompmgr, conky, and pypanel. Conky shouldn't be the thing causing problems as it's in a different area of the screen, and is set up with"own_window yes" and a few other variables. I've searched and searched but to no avail. :\ Could it be Nitrogen's fault?

Here is my .Xdefaults

#URxvt*transparent: true
URxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*geometry: 76x18+0+0
URxvt*depth: 32
URxvt*buffered: true
URxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/0000
URxvt*foreground: rgba:aaaa/aaaa/aaaa/aaaa
URxvt*font: xft:Monospace-8
URxvt*boldFont: xft:Monospace-8:bold
URxvt*urlLauncher: firefox
URxvt*borderLess: true
URxvt*termName: desk
URxvt*cursorColor: cyan
URxvt*cursorColor2: cyan
URxvt*inheritPixmap: true

Please tell me if anything appears out of order! And is there a way to have a solid cursor? I thought configuring the cursorColor2 would work, but I don't see any noticeable change. Sorry for the barrage of questions, and thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Can't type in URxvt, other problems.

if you're using openbox you can use the <layer>below</layer> and <decor>no</decor> options to achieve this.  it's outlined at the bottom of the openbox wiki, for other WMs i don't know.

Add

urxvt*cursorBlink:        false

(And read the man page wink)

D'oh! Thanks for that one. I've set it to be borderless in Obconf instead, and that works nicely.

Thanks! Used these options and they worked wonderfully.

That's not exactly what I meant. The cursor doesn't blink. but only has a border. I like to fill it in with a color to help my poor eyes. Oh well, solved! Thanks everyone!

EDIT: The cursor does turn solid when urxvt is active. Thanks!
