[TriLUG] rxvt is missing

[Heath Holcomb]

As Wade said, rebuilding the 7.x SRPM is probably the easiest solution 
if you really want rxvt.

I don't really have anything to add about rxvt, but I want to give a 
quick plug to the regular Linux xterm (especially when combined with 
screen). I prefer xterm to any of the other terminal apps I've tried. 
It's not obvious just from looking at it, but it has antialiased font 
support, UTF-8 support, graphical menus (CTRL left, right, or middle 
click), and is very configurable. A lot of console programs seem to have 
fewer quirks under xterm. It is kind of hard on the eyes with the 
default colors and font, though.
