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.

Then create script to automatically merge those to xrdb. File `/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/urxvt.sh`:

Shortcuts
---------
For each AppVM, go to *Qubes Manager \> VM Settings \> Applications*. Find `rxvt-unicode` (or `rxvt-unicode (256-color) multi-language`) and add.
