Neither. Next time submit it as package configure then I pick it up
from
there.
I noticed this xterm spacing bug as well. I guess we need to add a good
XDefaults file for xterm what we currently use is:
xterm*background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND
xterm*foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND
xterm*Font: FIXED_FONT
xterm.SimpleMenu*background: BACKGROUND
xterm.SimpleMenu*foreground: FOREGROUND
xterm.SimpleMenu*font: FONT
It seems the FIXED_FONT entry is written wrong. I'll check that
