I'm not sure whether I want to spare my bandwidth, but I've installed 3.3.2-4 version (just because dselect wanted to do this and I was too lazy to contradict). And now all my xterms have a totally black background. Is it to warn about the security problem or just that security problem itself? :-) Anyway, I was unable to find out how to return my standard (light gray?) background back. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm is identical to the previous one. If it's a bug, just consider this message as a bug-report, but if it's a feature, I would appreciate very much knowing how to get rid of it.
I also had the following problems with installation: 1) xserver-svga post-install script produced some strange error (sorry, I didn't pay attention to this at that time and ignored it), and I've lost my /etc/X11/Xserver file. It was easy to reconstruct it from Xserver.dpkg-new, though. 2) xauth produced an error on startup the following error: > xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "blackshark." in "add" command (blackshark is a host name). But this one was easy to fix also (just to change the corresponding line in startx script).
