Re: [dwm] irssi + screen + urxvt in dwm -> window hint urgent not working

Odd, guess the ^G got stripped out of the bell_msg, it was there...

Just to show a working config here's my setup:
  Gentoo linux on both laptop and server. both reasonably up to date.

  laptop (~x86):
    rxvt-unicode v9.06 (--enable-everything --enable-perl --enable-xft)
            [ I'm using it in client/daemon mode too ]
                
                OpenSSH_5.2p1

        server (x86):
                OpenSSH_5.2p1

    Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06
                  gentoo adds a bunch of patches, so maybe one of them is it:
                        (or maybe your distro adds one that breaks it)
                          http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo/gentoo-x86-portage/app-misc/screen/files/

                        that has the system screenrc too so the term tweaks / defaults could do it too...

    My .screenrc is pretty basic:
                ----- SNIP
                hardstatus on

                # tabs for open windows, hostname and time
                caption always "%{.bW}[ %h ][ %{.bW}%-w%{.rW}%n %t%{-}%+w %=%{..G}][ %{..Y}%m/%d %C%a CST ]"

                #trick vim into 256-color mode, although only 88 (hack)
                termcapinfo * 'Co#256'

                altscreen on
                autodetach on
                startup_message off
                defscrollback 1000

    # thats a real ^G not '^' + 'G'
                bell_msg "^G ring ring - window %n"
                ----- SNIP

Good Luck!
