How come xorg-apps is a dependency for xterm? Been a lil' curious for awhile and have tried figuring it out, but found nothing so I figured I would ask here.
xorg-apps contains luit, which is some kind of dependency to xterm. I'm not an xterm user, so I don't know anything more than this about it.
Oh right, thats for unicode. Since i used to be an xterm user, and i have researched this, see the Gentoo ebuild: http://gentoo-portage.com/AJAX/Ebuild/54621/View Its very identical to Arch's PKGBUILD. Luit is needed for unicode but xterm works just fine without it installed. Without xmessage koi8xterm doesnt work at all. -- Greg
