My initial reaction is that I want to see a more compelling justification for standardizing anything here. We've gone years with this behavior without standardizing anything. Are there multiple other bug reports from users for which this is confusing? Is it worth the effort for all maintainers of X terminal emulators in Debian to track this issue and make changes to defaults to standardize (possibly diverting from upstream default behavior)?
If this is just a differentiating default between xterm and other X terminal emulators, well, there are a lot of those, which is why I still use xterm rather than the other ones (since for the most part I personally find the changes annoying rather than useful). In other words, if this is just one of those nvi vs. vim things, I don't think we should be taking sides. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
