A couple of things I noticed about xterm (probably not bugs):

using sipbtcsh as my shell, I noticed that I was unable to use the
meta key in my xterms.  Greg suggested the following xresource as a
fix (which works):

XTerm*eightBitInput:    false


I think the behavior of the page up and down keys in xterms has
changed too, but I'm not sure if any of it is due to the above change
or my imagination.

I thought I used to have to use the shift keys with the page up and
down keys to get them to work, I don't now.  Also page up and down
move by a whole screen, and I'm use to half screen shifts.
