As much as it pains me, I must agree with Donnie. Adding a virtual/term to current xterm functional equivalents may suck, but it sucks less than ~ trying to track and add all new equivalents that appear in the future and add them to xorg. Personally, I think one of the strengths of Gentoo is its ability to cope with diverse prefered environments, and that we ought to use virtuals wherever we can. All that abstraction stuff they talk about in CS lectures and such, you know :-) Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCMg3+Oq80mJ2AvM0RAg6XAJ9BjxKM4mhbmsYEAAeWVrUe+g8UhACgnl0b 7U0HnHonFB9FYUiIkNv4fmA= =f85q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
