Request for testing: xterm 191

[Mike A. Harris]

I've recently upgraded xterm to version 191 in rawhide.  
Currently, the included xterm resources shipped are the stock 
upstream xterm resources with no additional Red Hat 
modifications.  I've left our our customizations in order to 
determine which ones are still needed, and which ones we can 
eliminate.

If you are an xterm user using Fedora Core 1 or 2, please upgrade
to this xterm release and test it as much as possible.  Run full 
screen text mode apps that use color, be sure to use emacs and 
other software that uses various keystrokes and combinations.  
Also use apps that use function keys, and if you use xterm over 
the network, be sure to test it's interactions over the network 
as well.

Particular things to look for:
- Color changes
- Backspace/Delete key changes of behaviour on standard Intel PC 
  keyboard hardware (ie: the Backspace key should perform the 
  standard PC backspace function of deleting the character to 
  the left of the cursor, the DEL key should perform the standard
  PC DELETE function of deleting the character under the cursor)
- Function key changes
- Changes to 8-bit character handling, unicode, etc.

Please try to be as thorough as possible, so that I can resolve 
any regressions or inadvertent changes soon.  If you've reported 
a bug in xterm before to us which was fixed in a future release, 
it is recommended that you please test for that bug again also.

My goal is to try to keep our xterm package as close to upstream
as possible without causing major changes in behaviour from what
existing users are used to from Red Hat supplied xterm.  From
time to time we need to make changes to compromise between
differing expected behaviours, however we try to keep that 
minimal.

Please report back your testing results here to this mailing
list, however if you discover bugs, also report them to our
bugzilla.

Thanks in advance for testing xterm.
