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.

Hi! I'm closing this bug, since it was tagged "moreinfo" for years
without answer. If you still encounter this problem, please feel free

Also, Glenn McIntosh mentionned it's not a bug, it's a feature...
