It wouldn't: x-terminal-emulator is an alternative (see 'man update-alternatives') pointing to one of various things like xterm, rxvt, Eterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, powershell, and so on. Each of these should support some basic set of xterm's options, but not all of them do. There was a conversation about it on debian-devel a few months back. There's an open bug (#74144) against powershell pointing out that it's broken in this respect. Until it's fixed, I can only suggest that you install something else as your x-terminal-emulator using 'update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator'. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
