Even if you get rid of %t from -rmsg, joe still writes to the screen once a minute, waking up terminals which notify about activity (such as xfce-terminal). This way, every tab that has an editor open flares up every minute.

(You might also want to drop %t by default — every desktop environment already has a clock on the screen.)

    We did drop %t by default with JOE keybinding. I see we still have it for jstar, this needs to be fixed.

    That's kind of funny with xfce-terminal, I'll have to try it. It's true that there is a background redraw every second, I'll have to rethink this.

    I've removed %t from other rc files. I think xfce-terminal has also been fixed so that the notification only happens if the screen contents actually changes, a refresh with same text no longer triggers it.
