setting the locale resource tends to force xterm to use luit and Unicode
fonts. If luit's not configured into the executable it doesn't make that
much difference, I guess, but I'll have to think about this some more -
there are a number of small incompatibilities built into the resource
usage when luit is compiled-in/activated, and some unnecesary changes
of interface to luit.
at the moment I'm only interested in bug-fixes (not changing configuration
around). As it's setup now, I think that a user can easily turn on the
locale feature and experiment with it. (I just got some negative feedback
regarding the blue/Dodger blue resource change - have to keep things from
getting out of hand ;-)
