xterm(229-1) does not accept "-u8"
The newly uploaded xterm(229-1) prematurely exits when the command line
option "-u8" is given, saying:
-
$ xterm -u8 &
[1] 2932
xterm: bad command line option "-u8"
usage: xterm [...
..
Type xterm -help for a full description.
-
"-u8" is not listed in the output of "xterm -help", either.
("-u8" is surely described in man page.)
"-u8" used to work in xterm(202-1) and was also
listed in "xterm -help".
Similar problem was reported before for xterm-185-2,
and the cause was that --enable-wide-chars was not used at
the configuration step.

Scrollbar background colour for X applications (emacs, urxvt)
I have seen that Emacs and URxvt have a gray scrollbar on black background. Usually, all applications (Windows, GNU/Linux) that have a scrollbar, have it as gray on gray (or almost gray). So, is there some Cygwin resource (~/.Xdefaults) to set to have the standard scrollbar background color? For URxvt, commenting out the line URxvt*fading: 60 in /etc/X11/app-defaults/URxvt would fix the background color, but another way to use in ~/.Xdefaults?
