Dunno why that is--sorry.

You should be able to use either, I think, because the database format hasn't
changed. Go for whichever's the newest.

Yes, you have a horizontal panel now. And, since the OK/Cancel/... buttons at
the bottom have a fixed maximum width, the underlying window is visible for
Expose events to be generated by it.

This works too--just one pixel more than the max. button sizes:

Use a UTF-8 locale (both inside & outside tmux) , then tmux won't translate
chars. when displaying:

```
$ TERM=C.UTF-8 tmux ...
```

Note that this is only in X11. The NetBSD console doesn't support UTF-8 (no
font coverage either).

Didn't get this. Shrunk where? console or in X11?
