Correct. > If it's that type of breakage, it might be possible to see > the details in xterm's debug-trace (by configuring xterm with > "--enable-trace"). OK. I added "--enable-trace" to the debian/rules configure command, and re-ran "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot". Finally, I instal the resulting .deb. Now every time I run xterm, I get a Trace-child.out and Trace-parent.out. The first isn't interesting. Here is what looks like the relevant snippet of Trace-parent.out, as I pressed PgUp and PgDn: Handle 7bit-key Input keysym 0xFF9A, 0:'' 7bit KeypadKey ...Input keypad before was 0xFF9A ...Input keypad changed to 0x10000FF55 Handle 7bit-key Input keysym 0xFF9B, 0:'' 7bit KeypadKey ...Input keypad before was 0xFF9B ...Input keypad changed to 0x10000FF56 Unlike other keystrokes, it never hits a writePtyData. I'll attach a compressed Trace-parent.out, where I simply typed "cat -v\n", and then PageUp, PageDown, PgUp, PgDn, PageUp, PageDn, return, ^D, ^D. Maybe there are clues other than the segment above, such as in the setup. - Larry
