I find that slang provides a much better experience than ncurses. Apparently, in order for slang to work, COLORTERM and COLORFGBG must be set in the environment. I've never noticed this until Udo pointed it out --- it seems rxvt sets these? I'd really like to see this switched back to slang, but I'm afraid I don't have time before 4.6-RELEASE to sort out the COLOR* issue (why is it needed, what should set it, can it be defaulted somewhere, ...).
