New problems ;<
Intermittently, this *stops* working!
This morning, I got up and my mutt session from yesterday performs as
expected, except *NO* mouse wheel up nor down. Nor did invoking this
again help the situation:
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
I had to logoff and logon again; and, then, I had to invoke xrdb --
finally, it worked as expected.
Now, I was out of the office for the afternoon, and I came home to find
that scrolling up now scrolls up the entire terminal, *not* just the
pager portion. In fact, composing this message in vim, I can scroll up
into stuff I earlier shelled out to, but I cannot scroll down into my
sig ?!?!
What do you think?
