I seriously doubt change was unintended or that there is any likelihood of "reversion". The old configuration dates back decades, to when *nix DPI was 75, and screens with density much above that were rare.

You are probably right.
I have always preferred "xterm" over other terminal emulators, precisely because it has that nice small text size. So I guess I'll have to keep that ".Xresources" file around.
Just about anybody else who sees my screen says that everything is far too small, and looks like ants crawling over the screen. But I like it this way. I guess my eyes are adapted to small print. Ever considered yakuake? Configurable re. fonts(ize), hit F12 and it drops down......
yes, for apps normally kept open. but for quick-and-dirty, xterm from a keyboard shortcut always. maybe just ingrained in ancient memory :) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
