Bug#629358: xterm with -h or -v doesn't quit immediately if -h or -v is not the first option
Package: xterm
Version: 270-1
Severity: normal
If one uses the -h or -v option, but not as the first option, xterm
doesn't quit immediately.
One may want to use a wrapper in order to run xterm with user-default
options, e.g. something like
/usr/bin/xterm -xrm ... "$@"
In such a case "xterm -v" no longer works as expected.
