+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #80016 +++ The man page for xterm should be updated to show "XTerm.form.vt100.NAME", because the vt100 widget has moved, as seen in the comments to Bug #80016. VT100 Widget Resources The following resources are specified as part of the vt100 widget (class VT100): These are specified by patterns such as "XTerm.vt100.NAME": ------- Comment #3 From Joe Wells 2005-03-11 06:42:44 0000 [reply] ------- The toolbar seems to work fine in x11-terms/xterm-200 when this ebuild is merged with "toolbar" turned on. I can toggle the toolbar on and off with the menu item. However, for some reason, all my X resource settings are being ignored. When I re-emerge with "toolbar" off, I get an xterm that pays attention to my X resources. My X resources for xterm look like this (output of "xrdb -query | grep -i xterm"): XTerm.VT100.font: 9x19 XTerm.VT100.WideChars: true XTerm.VT100.FaceName: Courier New-8 XTerm.VT100.EightBitInput: false XTerm.VT100.saveLines: 5000 XTerm.VT100.backarrowKey: true XTerm.VT100.translations: #override XTerm.VT100.Geometry: 100x39 XTerm.VT100.CutNewline: false I'm guessing that somehow enabling the toolbar is changing the class name xterm uses when looking for resources. Or maybe it is changing the widget name. Any idea why? I don't know whether to reopen this bug or enter a new bug. Please advise. ------- Comment #4 From Joe Wells 2005-03-11 07:05:16 0000 [reply] ------- I suspect my problem with X resources is that there must now be an additional widget between the application shell and the VT100 widget. I'll check if this is the case later today and report back. ------- Comment #5 From Joe Wells 2005-03-11 12:08:31 0000 [reply] ------- I can now verify that my resource problem is caused by the vt100 widget being at a new location in the widget tree: xterm.form.vt100. So everything works with the new toolbar feature except that I can't figure out how to prevent xterm from starting up with the toolbar showing. Instead, I have to hide the toolbar manually using the menu or an escape sequence. Despite the comments above, I could not find any X resource that governs this either in the documentation or in the code. If anyone knows how to do this I would be happy to be proven wrong.
Why you copy pasted all those lines, instead of just report: =================================================================== The man page for xterm should be updated to show "XTerm.form.vt100.NAME", because the vt100 widget has moved, as seen in the comments to Bug #80016.

I did overlook the manpage; this is documented in the app-defaults file "XTerm".

It's in #242, actually - the second paragraph under the section on "VT100 Widget Resources".

no problem (report bugs).
