My xterm wraps & resizes just fine (e.g., a long line wraps; on |
| 25 |
maximizing the window, contents are redrawn and use just one line, if |
| 26 |
it fits). I don't think I did anything special for this to work. Maybe |
| 27 |
it's window manager related? I use openbox. My USE variables for xterm |
| 28 |
are the same as Mick's. |
