The xterm manual says: VT100 Widget Resources Specify which features will be disabled if allowWindowOps is false. This is a comma-separated list of names, or (for the controls adapted from dtterm the operation number). The default value is 20,21,SetXprop,SetSelection [...] disallowedWindowOps (class DisallowedWindowOps) Specify which features will be disabled if allowWindowOps is false. This is a comma-separated list of names, or (for the controls adapted from dtterm the operation number). The default value is 20,21,SetXprop,SetSelection [...] SetWinSizeChars (8) Resize the text area to given size in characters. So this sequence can be disabled individually on the user side. But I'm fine if it's dropped; I mainly posted it to see if there would be reactions wrt. compatibility etc. Thanks!
