Package: xterm
Version: 229-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I'm not sure this is really a bug, but I cannot find anything in the
documentation.  In case it's there, can anyone point me at it, please?

Basically, I'd like to define UXTerm resources in the *XTerm form
(which is perfectly valid for xterm itself), in order to avoid
resource duplications.  As I wrote, it seems that xterm supports
*XTerm, while uxterm no.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

It doesn't ship libXt, though, which is what you're talking about here.

Indeed, the semantics of Xt resources won't change, so I don't think
it'd be useful to keep this bug open.  I'm thus closing it with this
message.
