                            Patch #270 - 2011/04/26

     * build-fix, e.g., for using imake on platforms which use the termcap
       library.
     * modify utf8 resource to accept a name.
     * mention  default  for  fontWarnings  in  manpage  (report by Werner
       Scheinast).
     * split "UTF-8" menu entry into "UTF-8 Encoding" and "UTF-8 Fonts".
     * gray-out  font-menu  entries  when  a  font  fails to load, e.g., a
       bitmap font is not installed.
     * improve behavior when there is no app-defaults file:
          + set the toolBar resource to false
          + gray-out the font menu entries where no resource is found.
     * add configure option --with-desktop-category to allow customization
       of the ".desktop" files.
     * build-fix   for   the   install-desktop   makefile-rule,  when  the
       source/build directories differ (patch by Loïc Minier).
     * add  menu  entry  and  corresponding  resource which can be used to
       suppress all bold-fonts (discussion with Jan Engelhardt).
     * make  internal  line-size  value consistent with allocated sizes of
       character  and  related  arrays to ensure that bulk copying of line
       data, e.g., in scrolling, accounts for the padding used for pointer
       alignment  (adapted from patch by Rajesh Mandalemula, also reported
       by Ali Bahar).
     * widen  ifdef  for  screen-resizing logic from patch #176 changes to
       send  SIGWINCH  to  process  group to include any system supporting
       ioctl(*,TIOCGPGRP,*)  (prompted by linux-specific patch in OpenSUSE
       rpm package).
     * add  printModeOnXError and printFileOnXError resources, which allow
       the  user  to  specify  that  xterm  will write the contents of its
       screen  to  a  file  if  it  is  exiting  due to an X error (Debian
       #280457).
     * restore  logic  that  made  reverse-video  apply to the scrollbar's
       foreground/background,  broken  in  patch  #158  (report  by  Bryan
       Ischo).
     * amend some of the window operations parameter-checks added in patch
       #251  for  the push/pop title feature, to allow the parameters used
       for  window  resizing  to  be  -1's,  which makes the corresponding
       values  ignored rather than using the window's maximum width/height
       (report by Noah Friedman).
     * correct  order  of  initialization  for  translations vs fullscreen
       resources  to  enable  a  special  case  which  omits the Alt-Enter
       translation when fullscreen is disabled (Debian #612978).
     * update config.guess, config.sub
