It is only possible to configure st at compile time so the binary package from the repositories isn't much use (unless you happen to like the default settings).

I see. In that case this might be a good thread to hijack and post some tweaks, or add a helpful link or two.

I might try stterm. I haven't used suckless apps in awhile. I recall surf is also a really intersting pkg.

galternatives is a 189k pkg that needs 20 MEGS of gnome dependencies for me, so that one is not going to happen...
Wow, you must not have any GTK+ apps on your system at all.

It's not that I don't want to, but geez...

That 20 mb I mentioned was without recommends:
