Uhm... try 2.3.0?
Didn't help, though it sure used to work before. Rebooting didn't change anything either. So apparently something is broken that is not part of the X11 distribution, yet still affects only xterm (both local and remote) in this very odd manner? This is totally mystifying to me. I guess the next step is to suspect all the libraries used by Xquartz but not included in the X11 distribution. Possibly one of them is corrupted, though how that might affect xterm only is an odd thing to contemplate. Any other ideas? Oh, if anyone else is running MacOS X 11.5.4 on ppc and have installed X11-2.3.1_rc3.pkg, would you please run the following command and compare the output to mine? ; otool -L /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 | awk '/^\t/{print $1}' | xargs cksum 770032096 66880 /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Carbon 2009702225 352320 /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/OpenGL 4124472004 66880 /System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa 2359869444 3650192 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreAudio.framework/Versions/A/CoreAudio 29926874 2196784 /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit 3422172803 911568 /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGL.dylib 3903876520 1903072 /usr/X11/lib/libXfont.1.dylib 1652968892 3030560 /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib 3199652944 135508 /usr/X11/lib/libfontenc.1.dylib 1814913722 346144 /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib 2166856287 920340 /usr/X11/lib/libpixman-1.0.dylib 1592037136 328996 /usr/lib/libXplugin.1.dylib 409852072 4516328 /usr/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib 3600396640 66996 /usr/X11/lib/libXau.6.dylib 1435103623 100492 /usr/X11/lib/libXdmcp.6.dylib 380257633 7764912 /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib 1116190536 264016 /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib 2833292934 173392 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices 213072909 5947472 /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib 3233288217 9366208 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation 663026797 64612352 /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit 704227688 177504 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/ApplicationServices 2037449015 18136624 /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation - Harald
