xterm -tb

2015-11-27 Thread Jack J. Woehr

man xterm mentions the -tb switch (create a toolbar/menubar) which works on 
other platforms (e.g., Cygwin).

The switch is absent in the OpenBSD (5.8) implementation of xterm, there is no 
toolbar.

Not terribly troubled by this, just wondering if a patch to the manual page 
called for.

The toolbar is a compile-time option, OpenBSD simply doesn't enable it
by default (which is common).

The menus are the same ones you get by holding down control and pressing
mouse buttons.

xterm and it's man pages are updated often enough that local patches
like this would likely only get in the way.
