[Thomas Dickey]

                            Patch #227 - 2007/6/27

     * exclude  the  Intel  compiler  from  the extra gcc warning options
       added in patch #226.
     * modify  change  for  Debian  #422521  from patch #226 to work with
       configurations where the X server does not recognize the XF86Paste
       or SunPaste keysyms (report by Paolo Pumilia).
     * fix  incorrect  free  in  fix  for "Selection" menu entry in patch
       #226.

                            Patch #226 - 2007/6/17

     * add configure check to use -Wno-unknown-pragmas for Solaris, and a
       few  other  new  gcc warning options to address regressions in its
       warning options.
     * add  sample  desktop  and icon files, along with configure options
       for manipulating them.
     * fix  an  infinite  loop  when  showing  a  2-column character in a
       1-column screen (Debian #426863).
     * add  XF86Paste  and  SunPaste  to the default translations (Debian
       #422521, patch by Bernhard R Link).
     * update   wcwidth.c  (partly  based  on/prompted  by  mailing  list
       comment).
     * update/improve  keysym2ucs.c based on Unicode 5.0.1d3 and Xorg 7.1
       keysymdef.h file.
     * improve  gen-pc-fkeys.pl, making it show all of the building-block
       terminfo entries used by xterm.
     * correct  strings used for modifiers applied to F1-F4 in xterm+pcf1
       terminfo entry.
     * improve  session management by adding the ICE connection number to
       the  select  call  rather than waking up once per second (patch by
       Miroslav Lichvar).
     * add   environment   variable  $XTERM_LOCALE  to  help  with  shell
       initialization,  e.g.,  to  set  a  specific  locale  for xterm on
       systems where a global locale is set in the shell startup scripts.
     * add  resource settings mkSampleSize and mkSamplePass to modify the
       mkWidth added in patch #201. In patch #202, xterm would also check
       if  the system's wcwidth matched its built-in tables "well enough"
       to  be  used  when  mkWidth  was  false,  and if not would use the
       built-in   tables  anyway.  These  resources  allow  the  user  to
       customize   the   decision   (prompted  by  comments  by  Emanuele
       Giaquinta)
     * modify  logic  which  resets/updates  the  screensize on the child
       process  side  of  the  pseudo-terminal  to  do  this  only  if  a
       successful  handshake  was  received,  e.g.,  as determined by the
       waitForMap resource (prompted by reports by Emanuele Giaquinta and
       Bernhard R Link, but see also patch #177 and patch #159.
     * improve  permissions  logic  when  closing pseudo-terminal (Debian
       #12261, patch by Nathanael Nerode, analysis by Richard Braakman).
     * add  resource  highlightReverse  which controls whether xterm will
       allow  selection  highlighting  to  hide  reverse-video or use the
       older  behavior which inverts the foreground and background colors
       when  selected text with reverse-video attribute (report by Adam M
       Costello, comments by Victor Vaile).
     * restore  a special case for cursor-color in ReverseVideo() lost in
       rewrite for patch #224 (report by Adam Sulmicki).
     * correct  initialization  for menu entry for bellIsUrgent (patch by
       Emanuele Giaquinta).
     * correct  length  of underlining for double-width Xft fonts (report
       by Shidai Liu "Leo").
     * correct  clipping for double-width Xft fonts (report by Shidai Liu
       "Leo").
     * modify  initialization  for  italicULMode to avoid XftPatternBuild
       reusing bold attributes (report by Shidai Liu "Leo").
     * add  a check in case someone tries to call the popup-menu() action
       on a menu which is not initialized (Debian #426364).
     * improve  CF_IMAKE_CFLAGS to work with Solaris sed (report by Peter
       Bray).
     * improve guess for X's manpage section in minstall.sh, (prompted by
       comment by Miroslav Lichvar).
     * modify  minstall.sh to handle manpage patch with more than one dot
       (patch by Miroslav Lichvar).
     * fix  configure  message  for  --disable-setgid  option  (patch  by
       Miroslav Lichvar).
     * add  allowTitleOps  resource  to allow users to prevent the title-
       and icon-names from changing (request by John Bashinski).
     * fix  "spawn-new-terminal"  action, for the case where no parameter
       is passed to the action (patch by Daniel Colascione).
     * fix error-checking on internal font switching for "Selection" menu
       entry (Debian #421523).
     * amend  select/paste  change  from  patch  #225  by  limiting it to
       non-UTF-8/non-KOI8-R encoding (Debian #420974).
     * add  workaround  for  groff  ".URL" codes which are not present in
       some commonly-used bitmap fonts (Debian #418324).
