Comment #3 on issue 537 by allber...@gmail.com: xmonad does not process urxvt+vim repaint request http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=537 Neither xmonad nor any other normal window manager, in fact, repaints any application windows in that case; application windows are repainted by applications in response to Expose events delivered to them by the X server, without any involvement by the window manager which is not even notified that this is happening. (The exception is Compiz and similar window managers, because they are actually compositing managers which reflect the application window updates into OpenGL textures in order to render them.) This would be an issue with urxvt. While urxvt is generally better than xterm or the rest of the *rxvt family at handling tiling window managers, it does have some bugs in this regard. (Personally I find xterm to work slightly better than urxvt in many cases, but a lightweight VTE-based terminal is more reliable than either.) -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
