Package: xterm Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 Severity: wishlist If you accidentally use a horizontal scroll wheel (buttons 6 and 7) in an xterm, it beeps. I am using the EmulateWheel feature of XFree86 to simulate both the vertical and horizontal wheel, and when "scrolling" vertically, I inevitably cause a few horizontal wheel events. So this beep is rather bothersome.
I tried to work around this by adding empty translations for buttons 6 and 7, but as far as I can tell, Xt only supports 5 buttons, so there is no hope of that. I presume that has something to do with the beeps, but I did not dig far enough to discover exactly what causes them. If it is simply the case that every "bogus" event causes a beep, maybe there can be an option to disable that.
