Package: xterm
Version: 324-1
Severity: normal
Settings activated via ~/.Xresources are parsed locale-dependent.
I'm running LANG=de_AT.UTF-8; if I put
XTerm*scaleHeight: 1.3
in ~/.Xresources (and "xrdb -merge" it), it's ignored.
The setting
XTerm*scaleHeight: 1,3
works, though.
Now, that won't work for long, as the /home directory is shared across
quite a few machines; and not all of them have locales installed, and not
on all of them I'm working with "de_AT", so on these the setting is invalid
again.
Configuration files should be parsed via the "C" locale, IMO - having to
think about "," vs. "." in there is awkward.
