Bug#794201: xterm -e writes a /var/log/wtmp entry

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.net>]

Package: xterm
Version: 318-2
Severity: normal

The xterm(1) man page says:

      Finally, -ls is not completely ignored, because xterm -ls -e
      does  write  a /var/log/wtmp entry (if configured to do so),
      whereas xterm -e does not.

But a command like "xterm -e true", or even "xterm +ls -e true",
writes a /var/log/wtmp entry, as shown by "last -10".
