Dear Ryan, I just wrote:
Curious that you do not consider this a bug: similar things were fixed in other terminal emulators like xterm, so people could "safely" view (i.e. cat or grep) any files, e.g. root perusing syslog. I guess I should have given examples or references. Some that come to mind: www.debian.org/security/2003/dsa-380 www.debian.org/security/2009/dsa-1694 bugs.debian.org/511516 Anyway, I solved my problem by "apt purge rxvt-unicode" on all my machines.
