Xterm incorrectly deals with return values from XParseGeometry when figuring out where to place the icon (if you specified an icon geometry spec on the command line and gave a negative x or y offset). It assumes that offset values returned by XParseGeometry are absolute values, but in truth they can negative. -- Jon The following trival change to the IconGeometry procedure in misc.c fixes this. From: if((i & XValue) && (i & XNegative)) *ix = DisplayWidth() - *ix - screen->iconVwin.width - 2 * screen->borderwidth; if((i & YValue) && (i & YNegative)) *iy = DisplayHeight() - *iy - screen->iconVwin.height - 2 * screen->borderwidth; To: if((i & XValue) && (i & XNegative)) *ix = DisplayWidth() + *ix - screen->iconVwin.width - 2 * screen->borderwidth; if((i & YValue) && (i & YNegative)) *iy = DisplayHeight() + *iy - screen->iconVwin.height - 2 * screen->borderwidth;

Has anyone heard of a version of Xterm that when in icon format will change its appearance if something appears in that window. This would be similar in function to the Vaxstation when it has a window that is in icon format. The icon will put ``New Data'' in the terminal screen on the icon. Louis McDonald

Recently we received Version 3 of the X Window System.
There was an annoying bug in xterm. The escape sequence
to open a line (from vi) was not handled as it should
be. Some debugging led to a (hacker's?) solution :
In the routine CursorRestore someone subtracts
screen->top_marg from the current row, setting it to zero
most of the time. They didn't do this in Version 2.
This hack will probably have some strange effect's on
other programs, but vi works as it should!
The following is the code of routine CursorRestore in
file clients/xterm/cursor.c :
CursorRestore(term, sc)
register XtermWidget term;
register SavedCursor *sc;
{
register TScreen *screen = &term->screen;
Bcopy(sc->gsets, screen->gsets, sizeof(screen->gsets));
screen->curgl = sc->curgl;
screen->curgr = sc->curgr;
term->flags &= ~(BOLD|INVERSE|UNDERLINE|ORIGIN);
term->flags |= sc->flags & (BOLD|INVERSE|UNDERLINE|ORIGIN);
/* CursorSet(screen, sc->row - screen->top_marg, sc->col, term->flags); */
CursorSet(screen, sc->row, sc->col, term->flags);
}

Can somebody please tell me the easiest way to make xterm generate ku=\E[A:kd=\E[B:kr=\E[C:kl=\E[D ie the sun termcap entries for arrow keys? This is for an application that heavily uses termcap/curses and pulls up menus with curses when the left arrow key is typed on the sun keyboard. thankyou for your help in advance: dave sternlicht david@cmx.npac.syr.edu uunet!nmri!dave

use a function key to switch from VT102 to TEK emulation (and another key to switch back), rather than have to go through the xterm menus each time. I am using TWM (.twmrc) and a Sun 3/50. Can anybody tell me how to do this? I would appreciate a direct reply to macq@miguel.llnl.gov, as I am not able to read network news on a regular basis. Thanks, Don MacQueen

I have the setuid bit on xterm set. When I do a ps, it shows the
owner of xterm to be root, instead of the person who started the
xterm. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello !
I have a litle question.
If I open a Xterm in Xwindows, like this
xterm -bg green -fg red -sb
is it then possible to change the colors and
remove the scrollbar once the xterm (shell)
is on the screen.
I do not want to use the options in the menus.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I want to start an xterm that comes up with a written text on it. I couldn't use -e option with xterm. Thanks for your suggestions?
