This is IMHO an extremely rare situation. If we are worried about it, we should find a solution for this situation alone, instead of punishing the more frequent cases. > I'd rather output a warning telling the user that she should not use > TERM=xterm when running in an rxvt. Such a warning during startup will almost certainly go unnoticed, as many echo area messages are likely to be displayed then one after the other. If we are looking for a warning-style solution, I'd rather do that in your scenario of running xterm from within Emacs. _______________________________________________ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
