Package: mrxvt
Version: 0.5.4-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be good to document clearly that by design Mrxvt
will never clear a full screen, it only scrolls the text
off the screen. The relevant part of 'src/screen.c' contains
this comment:

  case 2:    /* erase whole screen */
      /*
       * 2006-02-15 gi1242: As pointed out by Sabit Sayeed, Gnome terminal
       * scrolls the text off screen, instead of wiping it out completely.
       * That's seems much better so let's do it here.
       */

This is arguably an inferior design decision, and it differs
from most other applications including Xterm and Xrvt, so it
would be worth stating this fact.
