Re: The perfect X terminal emulator
Hi!
After doing an update to latest testing nad
getting an update to xterm and xterm-color it seems
that this issue has been noticed and aleviated.
According to the debconf msg i received in the update
the xterm config config file locations have changed
and having BOTH sets of config confuse home and end
use. i opted to have old config's removed by debconf
and will restart all 5 of my eterms soon to see if it
has TRULY been addressed.
