setting the locale resource tends to force xterm to use luit and Unicode fonts. If luit's not configured into the executable it doesn't make that much difference, I guess, but I'll have to think about this some more - there are a number of small incompatibilities built into the resource usage when luit is compiled-in/activated, and some unnecesary changes of interface to luit. at the moment I'm only interested in bug-fixes (not changing configuration around). As it's setup now, I think that a user can easily turn on the locale feature and experiment with it.
