+ The default value for 'pointerMode' has changed. 'pointerMode'
+ specifies when the pointer may be hidden as the user types. It will
+ be redisplayed if the user moves the mouse, or clicks one of its
+ buttons. Previously the default value was "0" meaning never hide the
+ pointer. The default is now "1" meaning hide the pointer after the
+ user has typed, if the xterm has not activated mouse mode. To
+ restore the previous behavior set the X resource XTerm*pointerMode
+ to "0". (e.g. XTerm*pointerMode:0)

-As of version 3.3.4-1, xterm logs to the wtmp and lastlog files. If you do
-not have a utmp group on your system, xterm will be installed setuid root
-instead of setgid utmp. xterm drops its root privileges after it
-initializes, so if it is setuid this can result in corrupt wtmp entries.
-The best thing to do is make a utmp group in /etc/group, or upgrade to
-version 2.0.3.4 or later of the base-passwd package, so that you have a
-utmp group.
