Well if recent rote support multi byte encodings and have fixed their handling of colors for rote launched inside rote, probably not a lot. I think I understand a different set of escape sequences though, as I chose 'rxvt' as a terminal to emulate, which has a nice _short_ list of capabilities, so that it's even less likely that applications that I host would send me escape sequences I don't get. I think rote uses 'screen' by default, and this is a bad choice (like xterm would be) because applications assert a _lot_ of things when $TERM has this value. Oh and I support terminal resizing, which last time I checked rote didn't. And for a tiling WM, that helps a lot ;) -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
