Bug#466704: xterm: pointer color is always white
Package: xterm
Version: 232-1
Severity: normal
The color of the pointer is always white and I cannot change it,
either with the pointerColor resource, or with the -ms option,
even though I get:
vin:~> appres XTerm | grep pointerColor
*pointerColor: red
Even if I change the foreground color with "xterm -fg red", the
pointer remains white, though the xterm man page says:
-ms color
This option specifies the color to be used for the pointer
cursor. The default is to use the foreground color. This
sets the pointerColor resource.
This problem seems to have appeared when I reinstalled my machine
in 64 bits (x86_64), but I'm not sure.
