xterm is guaranteed to have odd quirks... because it's not an xterm, it's an
ANSI-BBS term.  You'd need to import the terminfo and/or termcap entries as
documented in docs/sbbscon.txt and set the term type to it (again, as docuented
in docs/sbbscon.txt)


Does drag-selecting from xterm trigger the klipper thinger?
