screen and urxvt

[Michael Treibton]

hi

i hope this is the right list. if not let me know and i can try another.

im running screen inside of urxvt just fine. i have turned off visual
bells so that theyre audible bells and for the urxvt instance screens
running in i have set a property:

URxvt.urgencyOnBell:  True

this is working fine from within screen and my wm reacts fine to it.
the only problem is that applications in other windows in screen which
generate a bel character (like mutt does when theres new email) doesnt
seem to get picked up via urxvt. i know a bell is sent as i hear it as
well as the message from screen. in order for urxvt to react to this
and set the urgencyonbell stuff i have to have that specific window
visible.

is there something i need to do from within screen to set this so a
bell character from any window in screen is picked up correctly by
urxvt as needing to set the urgency?

thanks,

Michael
