Hi, I thought that a while back we had settled on the idea that we would offer the option of choosing whether xterm should advertise itself as xterm or xterm-debian to help those of us who have to maintain rather large heterogeneous networks with users all over the place who have no idea of what a 'dumb terminal setting' is... (i.e. academic environments).
I have just upgraded my laptop from 2.0 to 2.1 and the upgrade zapped my Xresources setting for Xterm*termName (which I had unset) and offered no option as to whether I wanted xterm or xterm-debian. As we discussed quite hotly last time and I thought we had reached a democratic solution could it be implemented? I also noticed that I have to explicitly set in /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm the Xterm*termName to xterm as it now apparently defaults to xterm-debian (or is it set elsewhere?). Please don't flame, we've been through this once and I think that we had all realised that an xterm option was sane and needed. I am only asking why it hasn't appeared yet and if there have been any changes which we were not made aware of. I strongly believe that the lack of choice/question makes it very hard to upgrade Debian boxes (esp. 1.3) to 2.1 in an academic environment (reasons for this had been debated, see archives).
