Bug#509102: xterm does not respond to Editres requests
Package: xterm
Version: 235-1
Severity: normal
XTerm, and some other Xt applications on my system, do not respond to
Editres requests.
To check if editres(1) works I connected to a remote
host with the ssh(1) with X11 forwarding turned on. I started xterm (v.224)
and asked it with locally running editres(1). I received expected answer.
Then I copied the xterm(1) binary (32bit x86) from the remote host and launched it
locally. It replied correctly.
I also tried running xterm from Debian testing xterm_235-1_i386.deb package.
It works fine.
Editres (64bit) responds to its question correctly provided it asks
for its own window. Asking for another process's window does not work.
This is probably not an xterm(1) bug but rather one of X11 libs
is broken but frankly speaking I have no blind ide which one this could be.
libXmu seems to be the first in the line because it contains some "Editres"
strings.
