I had changed from rxvt-unicode (urxvt) back to xfce4-terminal because
of an issue with escape sequences appearing when tmux was started.
But I was irked by some of the differences in copy/paste. So I revisited this
Arch User Repository project that patches that bug:

    https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rxvt-unicode-truecolor-wide-glyphs

The process:

    1. Click on the Git URL shown there.
    2. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rxvt-unicode-truecolor-wide-glyphs.git
    3. cd rxvt-unicode-truecolor-wide-glyphs
    4. Note the PKGBUILD file, which specifies a lot of stuff, including
       checksums and build commands. In this case, there are also a bunch
       of additional files, including patch files.
    5. Run "makepkg". This builds the whole thing, assuming all dependencies
       (listed at the AUR site) are present.
    6. Run "makepkg --install". It will ask about getting root.

One one laptop, I had to remove some old "debug" code.  Otherwise,
very simple.

Now I need to disable the Perl "confirm-paste" extension, which is annoying.
