Details
The rxvt-unicode package in the Arch Linux is built using a
patch rejected by upstream, actually marked as an X server
bug
http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2009q3/001055.html
Considering Arch's policy of not shipping unmodified software, i would like to request removing the popup-menu-hang.diff from the build in the binary repositories. |
This task depends upon

But despite the fact that all distributions patch urxvt for it, there is no indication, at least no evidence i could find,
that it has been reported to the xorg developers.
I have also contacted the author of the patch about it because in http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2009q3/001056.html he says he's "waiting for an answer from the Xorg guys".
His reply was that he doesnt remember off-hand where or if he indeed reported this issue upstream.
If noone bothers to report it upstream, the way i see it, there is nothing to fix.
Now, if only someone could test a non patched urxvt..
The patch shouldn't have been applied to urxvt in the first place, despite the developers "blessing", he didnt apply it himself after all, especially since noone reported it against the application which actually had the bug.
