Rxvt
rxvt-unicode is an advanced and efficient vt102 emulator. Here is a quick guide to configuration in both dom0 and guest VM.
Installation
yum install rxvt-unicode-256color-ml will bring both base rxvt-unicode and extension. Let me also recommend excellent Terminus font: yum install terminus-fonts.
Xresources
In TemplateVM create file /etc/X11/Xresources.urxvt and paste config below. !-lines are comments and may be left out. #-lines are directives to CPP (C preprocessor) and are neccessary. This shouldn't go to /etc/X11/Xresources, because that file is not preprocessed by default.

CLIPBOARD, so Qubes' clipboard won't work without it. Also the rationale given ! in [1] has little relevance to advanced terminal emulator, specifically there ! is no need for w32-style intuition and virtually no need to "paste over".

Then create script to automatically merge those to xrdb. File /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/urxvt.sh:
{% highlight trac-wiki %} #!/bin/sh
[ -r /etc/X11/Xresources.urxvt ] && xrdb -merge /etc/X11/Xresources.urxvt {% endhighlight %}
Shortcuts
For each AppVM, go to Qubes Manager > VM Settings > Applications. Find rxvt-unicode (or rxvt-unicode (256-color) multi-language) and add.
