- Packaging looks good FWICS.
- "man urxvt" looks good.
- Installed from local disk on this machine with no unusual issues.
- This machine is running: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 SICKLG1-D1 1.5.20s(0.155/4/2)
20060421 11:11:15 i686 Cygwin
- Appears to run pretty much normally here:
  - I'm starting a bash session successfully in it with the following
command line from current rxvt:

      urxvt -sr -sl 1000 -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i

  - Cut and paste works.  The above "uname -a" string was pasted into
Outlook from a copy from the urxvt window.  Pasting things into the
terminal also works.  Bonus: It shows the proper "I" text selection
cursor instead of the same pointer that the current rxvt
  - Colors appear to work, at least to the extent "ls --color" uses
them.
  - The escape codes in my $PS1 () all work fine.
  - ncurses appears to work fine with it, to the extent that mutt uses
it.
  - It doesn't like "-fn "Lucida Console-14"", which I've been using
with the current rxvt for ages, for whatever reason.  Message is "urxvt:
unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn,
aborting.".  However, I see that if I try to run another instance of
current rxvt from the urxvt session, ala:

      rxvt -sr -sl 1000 -fn "Lucida Console-14" -e /usr/bin/bash --login
-i

...i get a similar error.  So this must be a configuration error on my
part, not a urxvt-X error.

I give it a GTG, and will probably switch to it as my primary terminal
to give it more "in the wild"-type testing.
