(B
(BMaybe it would be useful if luit had X-Resources to set default values
(Bfor it's options?
(B
(BOr maybe an additional option/resource for xterm where one can specify
(Boptions for the localeFilter?
(B
(BOr maybe allow to include options in the localeFilter resource, e.g.
(B
(B *localeFilter: "/usr/X11R6/bin/luit -x"
(B
(B?
(B
(BAs luit can be used not only with xterm, it is probably better to have
(Ba standard method to specify default values for luit options not via
(Bxterm resources but via luit resources or some other method which
(Ballows to set defaults for luit independent of xterm.
(B
(BCurrently there seems to be not easy way to do this. The only way I
(Bcan currently think of to make "-x" the default without patching
(Beither luit or xterm is something like
(B
(B *localeFilter: "/usr/X11R6/bin/luitx"
(B
(Bin the app-defaults of xterm and:
(B
(B [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /usr/X11R6/bin/luitx
(B #!/bin/sh
(B exec /usr/X11R6/bin/luit -x ${1+"$@"}
(B [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
(B
(Bbut that looks like a silly hack, doesn't it?
