Sarge and etch offer two packages containing xterm - one of which
calls itself something like XTERM(unicode), except not quite that.
I installed both, in the hopes that the unicode one would solve my
problems, but without any success, thanks to the various problems you
explained to me.
My assumption is that Thomas Dickey is telling you (and I) to use that
xterm. I haven't tried it yet - not in combination with setting LANG
etc. - but it does work as a normal xterm.
