PuTTY has been ported to Linux too?   WTF?   WHY?! 

For one, VTxxx compatibility.   Unless one really understands the Xresources
and how to move the appropriate fonts from VMS to Linux, build the fontdir,
reset the font cache and update the font path, PuTTY is a right-out-of-the-
box VTxxx emulation.

In this regard, the Mac OS X Terminal.app works surprisingly well right-out-
of-the-box.   Xterm on Linux will require extensive changes to get it to pass
that VTTEST suite.

Try your xterm and see how well it does with that test suite.   Terminal.app
can be used to used to see what should be there if you don't have a real VT
terminal.   Dave, I know you do. ;)

Yes.
