Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal
I tracked utf8 problem I recently had on my workstation down to a change
in behaviour in xterm: the current version no longer enables unicode
support even itf the XTerm*utf8 resource is set or the -u8 commandline
option is given if the environment does not have LC_CTYPE (or LANG
I suppose) set to a unicode locale.
I disagree with this change for a few reasons:
* it broke a setup that has been working for well over a year,
possibly multiple years
* xterms are frequently launched from applications that are started
before a full environment is setup but at a time when the X resources
are properly loaded. This is no longer supported
* ignoring even a commandline option without giving a warning is imnsho
bad behaviour

This appears to be a belated complaint about
Patch #167 - 2002/8/24 - XFree86 4.2.0
* integrate patch by Tomohiro KUBOTA from
http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/i18n/2002-July/003378.html which
modifies xterm to invoke luit.
The xterm manpage tells how to get the older behavior (the "locale" resourc=
e).
