This fails because of the X11 library rather than xterm. I considered whether it was due to delaying the lookup of colors (and possibly using a different method), but restoring the "original" way resources were found, there's no change (so I'm certain that it is not due to a change in xterm). However, I am not able to see where X11 has changed either. Reading through Xlib I see the issue is that in de_DE locale, a "," is used for a decimal separator rather than ".". The XcmsLRGB_RGBi_ParseString() function uses sscanf, which (given the locale) expects a comma. That particular part of the code hasn't changed since XFree86 3.3.6. The available documentation does not mention whether this string should be interpreted in a locale-specific manner, only an oblique reference to its character set. >xterm does not recognise intensity specifications like > > XTerm*VT100*color1: rgbi:0.4/0.0/0.0 > >Error message: > > xterm: Cannot allocate color rgbi:0.4/0.0/0.0 > >It did definitively work in earlier versions. more information about the earlier versions would be helpful, but in any case this bug is not related to xterm. -- Thomas E.
