Can the FC3 xterm be compiled with support for 256 colors enabled? (i.e. configure with --enable-256-color) This would enable applications to take advantage of a higher number of colors. For example, the next version of Emacs will have support for 256 color xterms. (This support is not present in emacs-21.3 but it can probably be easily backported, if desired. It would probably be an ~200 lines patch). With that support, syntax coloring in emacs running in an xterm looks almost identical to emacs running in X11. This is great for using emacs over slow connections. Thanks. --dan -- Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
