Bug#598910: xterm: paste64 control sequence (OSC 52) disabled

[Helmut Eller <eller.helmut@gmail.com>]

Package: xterm
Version: 235-2
Severity: wishlist

The paste64 control sequence seems to be disabled at compile time.
Executing "printf '\x9d52;cp;eHkK\a'" in a shell
should put the string "xy" in the clipboard and primary selection.
But it doesn't work.  I think all that is needed is to pass
the --enable-paste64 option to configure.

This shouldn't be much of a security risk as this is only enabled
if allowWindowOps is true (default false).
