Bug#789937: xinput --help shows a completely different set of options than the man page

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Package: xinput
Version: 1.6.1-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/xinput.1.gz

$ xinput --help
shows all the options but without the --.

$ man xinput
shows all the options but with the --.

I.e., neither shows any of the same options.

Nor is there a note on either that both forms work.

Nor is any --help listed.

   -n  This  option indicates that changes to the specified properties
   (when used with -load, -override or -merge) or to the  resource
   file  (when  used  with  -edit) should be shown on the standard

When it is used with -remove the action is performed, however no error

Bug#833984: tell how to set icon titles too

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Package: xterm
Version: 325-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/xterm.1.gz

Of the three


ESC]0;stringBEL -- Set icon name and window title to string
ESC]1;stringBEL -- Set icon name to string
ESC]2;stringBEL -- Set window title to string

mentioned on http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-3.html ,

the xterm man page sadly only mentions the last of the three.

You need, on the xterm man page, to change the "Window Titles" section
to "Window and Icon Titles", and mention all three.

Else users will end up with windows titles who don't match their icons'
titles, because the icon titles cannot be changed, because it is not
documented how!

Xprop should have an option to print the details of all windows present.

Also the man page should say where to submit ideas to upstream.
