Between what we have now and the X.Org one? Biggest difference is the X.Org one is still maintained and enhanced - what we're shipping now is an old fork of it made by li18nux.org which hasn't been updated in years. I don't know the details about individual features off the top of my head - I'd have to go compare our source against the feature list on http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.html -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
