                            Patch #263 - 2010/10/13

     * corrected  initialization of "misc" resource values, to ensure that
       xterm  has  allocated  a  copy  of  strings which may not have been
       malloc'd by the X library (Debian #600129).
     * modify  handling  of any-event/any-button mouse protocol; it now is
       active with any combination of key-modifiers.
     * add  debugging feature showWrapMarks, which marks lines which xterm
       knows  are  wrapped,  showing where a double-click will select past
       the end of a line.
     * build-fix to address change in include-guards for Xlib.h in ongoing
       Xorg edits (patch by Jeremy Huddleston).
     * improve  pointerMode by continuing to watch for motion events after
       mouse  tracking  is  disabled  if  the  pointer  is  hidden (Debian
       #594856).
     * further  extend initialization for active-icon font to check if the
       font  was  not  loaded succesfully, to retry with font1, or as even
       (if  TrueType  fonts  are used) to use a TrueType font. The retries
       are  to help with cases as in patch #241 where the bitmap fonts are
       not available.
     * fix  special  case  of  active-icon  used  when  TrueType  font  is
       specified  for  the  xterm  window, from patch #261 change. In that
       case,  the  default  font's  size was used for layout of the active
       icon's window (Debian #591265).
