Bug#370747: closed by Solveig <debian@solveig.org> (Re: Command-line options should override Xresources - closing)

[Uwe Storbeck <uwe@ibr.ch>]

Hi Solveig

Sorry if the answer under what conditions the bug arises wasn't
clear enough. For a detailed description how to reproduce it see
below.
The bug is still unfixed. It also has been confirmed by Thomas
Dickey. Therefore I'm going to reopen the bug and remove the
"unreproducible" tag.

To reproduce the bug:
- Set xterm.vt100.saveLines to e.g. 100 in your X resource file
  (~/.Xresources or whatever):
  xterm.vt100.saveLines:	100
- Merge the resource file:
  xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
- Start an xterm (without options), it should have 100 saved
  lines.
- Start another xtem with option "-sl 200". This xterm should
  have 200 saved lines, as command line options should override
  resource settings. But it still only has 100 saved lines, the
  command line option has no effect.

Regards

Uwe
