/etc/X11/Xresources (xbase-3.1.2-5)
The new X11R6 xbase package has the following additions to /etc/X11/Xresources
since the previous version:
!
! Fix Motif client handling of backspace/delete
!
*XmText.translations: #override\n\
<Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character()
*XmTextField.translations: #override\n\
<Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character()
XTerm*utmpInhibit: true
XTerm*scrollBar: true
XTerm*saveLines: 200
XDvi*foreground: black
XDvi*background: white
XDvi*cursorColor: black
I can understand reasons for the Motif client handling resources, and don't
generally have a problem with it. (Actually I've been looking for something to
do that recently.)
However, are the remaining resources really needed? It's hard to override
these with a simple .Xresources or XAPPLRESDIR scheme.
I wouldn't have noticed these except I found the new xterm didn't log anything
into utmp; should this really be the default?
Thanks.
