Of course, and that is why I filed the bug in Debian. The point I'm making is that I've tested Ubuntu packages on an Ubuntu oneiric system, not Debian packages on a Debian system. Here are the results of my tests: Xterm & friends: xterm: true (eightBitInput resource) kterm: true (eightBitInput resource) mlterm: true (--meta=esc command line option) xvt: true (-7 command line option) GNUStep (I imagine that GNUStep standards mean you wouldn't want to change the default): terminal.app: true (no option, but can remap keys) rxvt & friends: rxvt: false (meta8 resource) rxvt-unicode: false (meta8 resource) mrxvt: false (-m8/+m8 command line option) wterm: false (-meta8 command line option) aterm: false (-meta8 command line option) libvte-based emulators (for at least some of these may need to select preference “Keyboard→Disable other menu shortcut keys”, otherwise Alt+some letters opens menu; again, this default probably shouldn't change): gnome-terminal: false (no option) evilvte: false (no option) guake: false (no option) lxterminal: false (no option) roxterm: false (no option) sakura: false (no option) terminator: false (no option) vala-terminal: false (no option) xfce4-terminal: false (no option) konsole: false (no option) Others: eterm: false (--meta8 command line option) pterm: false (no option) In other words, only xterm, kterm, mlterm and xvt would require a patch, and in all cases it would be simply to reverse an existing default setting. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
