You can replace that line with:

Thanks!

I found 2 further issues
1. on my ubuntu, $TERM is xterm  (actually it is 256 color), but dvtm
  cannot detect it and makes it a 8 (or 16?) color rxvt.

You probably need to set TERM to xterm-256color. If 'infocmp xterm' says you have 8 colors, ncurses and dvtm will think your terminal only supports 8 colors. If you don't have the proper terminfo files, then be prepared for some fun with 'infocmp' and 'tic'.

2. if start dvtm from dmenu typing "xterm -e dvtm" there is always an
  extra ^Z placed in ttyin so that when I start to type any
  character, the ^Z appear and I have to delete it,
  However if I start dvtm from xterm, it is OK.

Change config.mk to use ncursesw (LIBS_UTF8).
