But something is very broken in the new luit. E.g.,

luit mode.
Testcase: in "xterm -lc", echo -e '\x1b(0qqq\x1b(B'. "qqq" is the
wrong
result. A horizontal line is the correct result.
This breakage is caused by over-stripping Xorg on the LiveCD. Install
the "encodings" package and be happy.

Both are fixed in ncurses-5.5, but luit is buggy and quirky enough to
make this fix pointless for Xorg-7.0.0.
Xorg-7.0.0 patched against the luit race works too. Sorry for the
overly-angry comment.
