>Description:
	When I try to change encoding for my terminal, and it uses the external
	program uit' for translation between encodings, I get this message every
	time I start the xterm:

	"Warning: could not change ownership of tty -- pty is insecure!"
>How-To-Repeat:
	
	Put following lines into X-resources database:
	XTerm*locale:   ISO8859-2
>Fix:
	Make xterm change the tty ownership itself, not pass it on luit, which
	cannot do it as it runs with current user's UID.
