System name: opus
Type and version: IP22 8.0D
Display type: GR3-XZ
What were you trying to do?
Run xterm.
What's wrong:
On 8.0 SGIs, the xterms have scroll bars by default.
They also have 'non-standard' default colors. This
causes login sessions to appear and act differently
from any other Athena platform (including 7.7 SGIs)
This is because the last lines of
/usr/X11/lib/app-defaults/XTerm are:
!SGI customizations
*background: gray40
*foreground: white
*cursorColor: yellow
*scrollBar: true
Could these lines perhaps be removed in the 8.0 release?
What should have happened:
I'd prefer the same app-defaults found on the other platforms.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man xterm, perhaps?
