The problem has been fixed in XTerm 157 (over six months ago), but only when compiled against the version of Xlib that comes with 4.1.0 or later. OD> and you recommend the "dangerous fix" by replacing the xterm OD> binary? What is recommended is to upgrade to XTerm 157 or later and compile against the 4.1 libraries (or later). This is the only way to get reliable selection conversion (cut & paste), reliable compose key support, or reliable input method support. If you're using Debian, I would tend to suggest grabbing the version of XFree86 (libs + XTerm, the server is irrelevant) that is in testing (I don't use unstable myself). However, due to the change of the version of libc, you may very well end up with a system that is more like testing than stable. If you're not willing to use testing, you may give a spin to the unofficial potato XFree86 4 debs. While I have not tried them myself, there are said work well. http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/xf410_potato/READ.THIS Hope this helps, Juliusz -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
