Hi,

I agree 100% with that, besides I have X11 installed and use it extensively,
but I never use rxvt-X11 because it does not work properly with the dead
accents, and it is almost useless for non-English languages.

Perhaps, instead of bothering about how the console looks, something that
is better to leave to the user, it would be more useful to provide a
rxvt-X11
linked to the standard X11 library, so that dead accents are supported.

Bye
