To change options of an (u)xterm window you can press Ctrl+(Left|Middle|Right) Mouse Button. If doing this in the uxterm the first time, it causes it to freeze. This doesn't happen in an xterm window. emerge -pv xterm [ebuild R ] x11-terms/xterm-204 -Xaw3d -toolbar +truetype +unicode 0 kB Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start uxterm. 2. Point your mouse pointer into its window, hold Ctrl key and press for example the left mouse button. Actual Results: The uxterm window freezes for some time, it isn't redrawn in this time and doesn't react. Expected Results: The "Main Options" pop-up window should appear.

The underlying problem is that Xaw library isn't handling the iso10646 fonts well. I considered setting the menu fonts to "fixed" in the app-defaults file, but that would create as many problems as it would fix. Most of the complaints about this were with the initialization of all menus on startup, and _that_ I improved in #206: fix GenToo #90697 a different way, postponing the logic in SetupToolbar until the toolbar is actually needed, i.e., the +tb option is handled as expected.
Closing, as this is fixed.
