reassign 146210 xterm
tags 146210 upstream
merge 146210 39964
thanks

According to the Ion [0]FAQ and [1]Wiki this is a bug in xterm, not
Ion. I am therefore reassigning it to xterm and merging it with bug
#39964 which I think is the same problem. I have verified that this
bug still exists in xterm 4.2.1-6. See the links below for more
information.
