What terminal emulator are you using?

What is the value of $TERM (type "echo $TERM" in the same place you would 
normally
run "naim")?

Please try to figure out of your build of naim (which is ridiculously out of 
date)
was built using --enable-detach (try running "naim --noscreen"--if it's an 
error, it
wasn't built with --enable-detach).

I use mrxvt so I believe that that is the value of $TERM. I ssh'd from my box 
at home
where I use putty and the $TERM variable is now xterm and the results are much
better! I have strange characters that represent the border of the buddy list 
but the
screen isn't corrupt.

As for naim, maybe I *should* compile it myself seeing as how out of date the 
one
ubuntu's servers has. I'm not sure why ubuntu would have such an out of date 
version
of NAIM. 

I ran naim --noscreen and everything looked perfect by the way. I'm not sure 
what
this means for the cause of the bug though. Is there an issue with the screen
application? I often run naim and other applications under screen.

Thanks.

Run with LANG=en_US.  mrxvt cannot deal with Unicode, and by default, Ubuntu 
now runs
with LANG=en_US.UTF8.

(I have essentially the same setup as you -- mrxvt on Ubuntu, running naim).
