On both systems `xterm -v' simply attempts to start -- succeeding on 8 and
failing on 10 as reported, but not reporting version on either.
Running ident on both shows the exact same version-string:
$XConsortium: main.c /main/231 1995/09/13 10:47:00 kaleb $
I am guessing, whatever changes happened to xterm since then, they did not
affect main.c :-)
If there is any other tell-tale sign (strings `which xterm` | grep /foo/ ?), let
me know...
But my question remains: what could be lacking in my X-server, that (some
versions of) xterm require to run? Thanks! Yours,
