I've recently switched over to Xterm from Eterm and it looks MUCH nicer...
But.. I'm having technical issues..
When I'm in irssi I can't switch windows alt+2 or whatnot just spits out symbols.. and doesn't do anything!
and to get mike@tokyo mike$ to show up I have to "source /etc/profile"..
I'm using Xorg and here's my Xdefaults..
| Code: |
xterm*faceName: Monospace
xterm*faceSize: 7
xterm*background: #000000
xterm*foreground: #FFFFFF

Uhh huhh...
I'm not wanting to switch terms. I'd just like to know if I can change the behaviour of xterm first..
Can aterm even use antialiased text? |

Sorry, I don't know about the rest (I'm an Aterm-er) but to get this working you could try (as user) echo "source /etc/profile" >> ~/.bashrc
And no, aterm doesn't support anti-aliased fonts  |

Eh, sorry.. Antialiased text is kinda why I switched to Xterm in the first place.
And thanks for the tip man! I had considered doing that but thought it was kind of hackish but hey! if it works! |

| Code: | XTerm*eightBitInput: false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true |
Put these lines in your .Xdefaults and it should do the trick |

Use "xterm -ls":
| Code: |
-ls This option indicates that the shell that is started in the
xterm window will be a login shell (i.e., the first character
of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that it
should read the user's .login or .profile).
The -ls flag and the loginShell resource are ignored if -e is
also given, because xterm does not know how to make the shell
start the given command after whatever it does when it is a
login shell - the user's shell of choice need not be a Bourne
shell after all. Also, xterm -e is supposed to provide a con-
sistent functionality for other applications that need to start
text-mode programs in a window, and if loginShell were not
ignored, the result of ~/.profile might interfere with that.
If you do want the effect of -ls and -a simultaneously, you may
get away with something like
xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c "my command here"
Finally, -ls is not completely ignored, because xterm -ls -e
does write a /etc/wtmp entry (if configured to do so), whereas
xterm -e does not. |
