metaSendsEscape not working after power outage

["Nicholas Croft" <cronix@fastmail.com.au>]

Hello List Members,

After a power outage metaSendsEscape won't work for my main user.  It is defined in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm and covers all users including root.  I added a new user and it works there.  

I've tried adding "xterm*metaSendsEscape:true" to my .Xdefaults and loading it with xrdb, but to no avail. I've rebooted as well.

I pretty much depend on it....

Any thoughts, other than saving my files, doing deluser and adduser again.
