The app-defaults file in xterm-200-7 has the resource "*VT100*utf8: true". This produces this warning when xterm starts up: Warning: Cannot convert string "true" to type Int I think it should be "1" instead of "true".
That's what the manpage says (0 to 3).
Doh. Easyfix... assigning to self.
Fixed in: xterm-200-9 in rawhide xterm cvs for future FC3 update if necessary
From User-Agent: XML-RPC xterm-205-1.FC4 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
