Re: How to not let urxvt screw up your console
If you make sure you have no "export TERM" anywhere and do not set the termName, urxvt works properly (at least for me)

well, unlike xterm, urxvt uses the proper terminfo when it has no information (via termName or $TERM)

Re: How to not let urxvt screw up your console
I have to try this when I get back home, it was driving me nuts. I would ssh into another box and I would get errors about urxvt and not be able to use commands like nano (because i don't have urxvt on the ssh'ed box).
I am a gated community.
