Description Dimitrios Christidis 2010-04-14 22:09:18 UTC

Since version 225, xterm features a compile-time option, --enable-exec-xterm, that allows the user to spawn a new xterm window using the current working directory. The user must assign this action to a key translation in his ~/.Xdefaults file.

This is cheap and useful. The ebuild should be updated accordingly.

Reproducible: Always
