- It works in my xterm (in OpenWindows on a Sun) without these settings,
- I don't have any xterm related settings at all in .Xdefaults, so there
- is probably a simpler trick or some other problem on infko.uni-koblenz.de
- should be dealt with. It might also be related with the xmodmap settings
- and their system defaults.
- I agree with Michael Lemke: all this terminal/windows stuff on unix systems is
- user-unfriendly ad nauseam, starting with terminal control from programs (see
- the lots of problems with mined on different unix systems).
