it's automatically deactivated by any keypress, so that command-line
beeps from (e.g.) filename completion don't suddenly stop occurring,
but it still provides a rapid response to an accidental spewing of a
binary to your terminal.

set[ug]id. All privs-requiring pty operations are done at the very
start of the run, then privs are dropped before initialising GTK.
Utmp is handled by forking a still-privileged subprocess at this
point, and later asking it (through a pipe) to stamp utmp. The
subprocess cleans up utmp on exit, which has the additional
advantage that if the main pterm process suffers some sort of
unexpected termination (up to and including SIGKILL) the subprocess
can still mop up utmp.

which to pipe printed data. Of course by default printing is
disabled; typically cfg.printer would be set to `lpr', perhaps with
some arguments.

send a button 4 press for an upward wheel movement and a button 5
press for a downward one). Untested since my own trackball's button
4 does nothing obvious. Someone with a mouse wheel should give this
a workout.

rather than the gtk_window_set_policy approach; the GNOME people say
that the former is the Right Thing in spite of the latter looking
obviously plausible.

lunatic is bound to ask for an xterm-style scrollbar too... :-)

including server-controlled resizing. Irritatingly I've had to use a
deprecated option to gtk_window_set_policy() to make this work,
resulting in me raising GNOME bug #95818 to ask for it to be un-
deprecated again...

into the Config structure, though they won't stay there forever
since they will need to be moved out into platform-dependent config.

[xsp]term but not when run from my GNOME panel. I think it's now
more robust.

It's ludicrous that we can only do it for pixmap-derived ones. :-( )

use my font of choice until I implement some command-line options; I
wonder what feature will appear next :-)

loopback interface; pterm now runs $SHELL and gives every impression
of being not a bad terminal emulator. I'm quite pleased with that. :-)

would have been better to abstract the general key-handling rules
away from the platform-specific keysyms rather than doing clone-
and-hack as I've done - but it'll serve for now. Now all I need is a
real pty back end and pterm should be a just-about-usable prototype.
[originally from svn r2013]
This means pterm actually _looks_ like the PuTTY terminal emulator
engine, instead of merely giving evidence to the expert eye that
said engine is hidden in there somewhere :-)

The current pty.c backend is temporarily a loopback device for
terminal emulator testing, the display handling is only just enough
to show that terminal.c is functioning, the keyboard handling is
laughable, and most features are absent. Next step: bring output and
input up to a plausibly working state, and put a real pty on the
back to create a vaguely usable prototype. Oh, and a scrollbar would
be nice too.
In _theory_ the Windows builds should still work fine after this...

beginning of a Unix port. It's nowhere near done, and currently it
won't even compile on Unix. But this represents the start of the
process of separating out platform-specific code, and also contains
the mkfiles.pl changes required to support a Unix makefile and a
non-flat source tree.
