Re: putting back the scroll bars in nxterm

I encountered similar problems after the upgrade from
Fermi RedHat 5.0 to 5.2.1.
It seems that the fvwm default terminal emulator is now nxterm, not xterm.

My .Xdefaults has the following settings, which seem to have gotten me
back to something close to what xterm used to do.

nxterm*saveLines: 2000
nxterm*background: Black
nxterm*foreground: white
nxterm*reverseVideo: false
nxterm*scrollBar: true
nxterm*saveLines: 2000
nxterm*reverseWrap: true
nxterm*font: fixed
nxterm*fullCursor: true
nxterm*scrollTtyOutput: off
nxterm*scrollKey: on
nxterm*VT100.Translations: #override\n\

When I try
nxterm*geometry: 80x50
the popup menus for Control-mousekey are badly mangled,
so I'm living with the default 80x24 initial screen size for now,
using the mouse to resize the windows to something more reasonable.
