[Konsole-devel] Bug#39896: konsole does not respect X resources

[hans at ecke.ws]

Package: konsole
Version: 1.1 (using KDE 3.0.0 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Red Hat Linux 7.2.92
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-109)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-0.4custom
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi,

on http://koala.ilog.fr/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/#curses you can see a method to teach mouse wheel scolling to non-X applications.

Here is a simpler explanation:

It involves two steps: first include something like this into your .Xdefaults: 

*vt100.translations: #override\n\
            <Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>: string("^[OA")\n\
      <Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>: string("^[OB")\n\

Merge the resources:
xrdb -merge .Xdefaults

Then start pine like this:

xterm -e pine

The terminal will pick up the properties above and translate wheel movements (Btn4/Btn5) into scrolling.

This works perfectly with xterm. It does not work *at all* with konsole.

Do you plan to ever include support for common X resources like these into konsole?
