Comment:
Reopening. There's also some fixes that were made to xterm. Unfortunately,
they are in versions 214 and 215 which aren't in the book.
I would prefer to just upgrade to xterm-215 at least, or the most current
218. The development of xterm is decoupled from Xorg-7.x. I know the
decision was that the modular package versions should stay set between
Xorg versions. However, things like xterm and libdrm are developed outside
of the Xorg tree and are unlikely to be affected by Xorg development.
However, I'll create a backport patch if people prefer not to go this way.
Here's the CHANGELOG for xterm, FWIW. The relevant setgid/setuid changes
are in Patches 214 and 215.
