Where does rxvt look for it's options in lubuntu?

supposing you mean rxvt-unicode:

Code:

man urxvt

in $HOME/.Xresources

Also, keep in mind that after changing settings in that file you have to load it into (or merge it with existing settings in) the X resource database using the xrdb command.

Thanks! I was using regular rxvt, but missed that paragraph in the man page by trying to skim too fast and found it immediately once I read your response and took another look!

I'll try urxvt, also. Unicode support wouldn't be awful to have.

I use ~/.Xdefaults for my rxvt-unicode settings -- it is parsed automatically every time urxvt starts up and you don't have to `xrdb -merge` the file.
