AFAICS the only common options are -T, -n and -e ..., you cannot rely on anything else. For example, I just looked at the list from apt-cache show rdepends xterm - and the first candidate (ddd) used the -fn option which is not provided by mlterm. Though luck. In theory, every maintainer should look trough the package that wants to use xterm and if there are no special options used anywhere, (s)he could replace xterm with x-terminal-emulator everywhere. I did that in icewm, no trouble so far. Regards, Eduard. -- <Aquariophile> geht nur in IE <Aquariophile> unter win <Aquariophile> autsch ich glaub das war ein eigentor
