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!
