That, and my setting items to '' both seem to work now and I can't
reproduce the problem I thought I was having there with needing to set both
styles. I must have got confused when I was testing last time.

Thanks for correcting me about lists and sorry for the dodgy bug report - I
should have tested more thoroughly :)

Thanks for the clarification.

No, that's not quite right. You only need the second. And to be precise,
that's a list style, so setting it to the empty list would be correct.
Thus:

  zstyle ':prompt:grml:right:setup' items

However, I can see how use-rprompt may have confused you. Its name is
probably a better description of what it does, than is the documentation
in the prompts help text: If it is on (which is the default), then the
prompt code is allowed to use the rprompt variables. If it is off, it
is not. And it will not. It won't unset the prompt either. It leaves
control over these parameter to the user. So a second way to get rid
of the sad smiley would be this:

  zstyle ':prompt:grml:right:setup' use-rprompt false
  RPS1=''

Documentation could be better. I will see if I can take a look at it
during the day.

To disable the sad smiley that appears when a command fails with the default
zshrc, you need to run these two commands:

zstyle ':prompt:grml:right:setup' use-rprompt false
zstyle ':prompt:grml:right:setup' items ''

From the documentation (prompt -h grml) one would think that either would be
sufficient.

In general, the use-rpompt style is unclear.

Suggestions:

1) use-rprompt is removed

2) `zstyle ':prompt:grml:right:setup' items ''` is made sufficient to remove the
sad-smiley

3) The documentation is extended to include an example of how to add and remove
items from the prompt.
