This is fixed in mcpp-2.7.2-2, which will be hitting the mirrors soon. > % xrdb -load ./.Xresources > /home/pbecker/.Xresources:140: warning: Illegal control character 0lx1a in quotation This is a separate issue, but note that it is just a warning; the resource settings are still loaded and work as before. IIUC, the "correct" way to fix this would be to change string("\n~^Z") to string("\n~")string(0x1a), but I haven't tested this.
