Thank you very much meanie for rebuilding xterm. I don't know why nobody else did this sooner, this solves a lot of problems for me personally.
I know why I didn't do it. It's because it didn't work right away, and I'm too lazy apparently to figure out why.
I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but could you (or someone else) give a quick explanation to how you did this?
(Even just a pointer in the right direction would help a lot.)
