Hi,
In 11.4 (both new or upgraded), under gnome, when I type [Alt][Enter] I get
maximize window. If I do the same on gnome-terminal, it does nothing - so
it must be a “feature” of xterm, which 11.2 did not have. Indeed, it is not
listed on the desktop shortcuts.
How do I disable it?
It interferes with Midnight-Commander, alt-enter is used to copy filename
to the command line.

I guess the easiest would be to use gconf-editor and look under /apps/metacity/window_keybindings. There you can disable ‘maximize’. Otherwise you can do it on the command line using gconftool-2 - if we’re talking about Gnome2 (?).

That’s what I said, that it is not there. No application under gnome
maximizes on alt-enter. None, except xterm.

OK, I see. Yes, you’re right. Only xterm does that (unlike any other terminal program) and it doesn’t do it just under Gnome (I just checked under icewm). It looks like an xterm key binding. I don’t know if it can be disabled through X resources or terminfo, but there would be the place to look. It’s a nice feature though, IMHO.
xterm (255) didn’t do it under 11.3, nor in Mandriva (257). But xterm in openSUSE 11.4 (268) or ArchLinux (269) now does. I would say this shortcut is implemented by default in the latest xterm versions.
If I do “ALT-enter” in an xterm under KDE, it just beeps at me and does nothing.
xterm -xrm "XTerm.fullscreen: never"
or set this resource in your ~/.Xresources.

I found some google result for debian (without a feedback in it if it works)
for the Xresources which should disable it (disclaimer: I did not test it
and do not know if it is debian specific)
XTerm*fullscreen: never
XTerm.omitTranslation: fullscreen
It is definitely a xterm feature not a DE feature, there is a lot of
discussion and bug entries about that xterm [ALT][ENTER] fullscreen feature
not working in the past.

I found a slightly better post
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg884178.html
where it is said that the above solution works on debian and there is also a
patch attached for xterm, just in case someone is interseted in looking at
it.

That does not work.

I don’t have that file. I created it, I added:
XTerm*fullscreen: never
XTerm.omitTranslation: fullscreen
to the end, does not work. I also added it at the end of /etc/X11/Xresources
Doesn’t work either. Unless it needs to logout… No, no good either.

Neither does adding the following in /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm (although it should):
*fullscreen: never
xterm (268) seems to ignore this resource. IMHO It’s either a bug or a compilation option.
Typing this would have been enough:
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
Disabling fullscreen on the command line or in ~/.Xresources works with xterm(269) on ArchLinux. That’s where I tried before posting. I could not imagine it wouldn’t work under openSUSE.
Try to recompile xterm! It’s not a big deal.

If it makes sense to try to patch xterm 269, it can be found here for openSUSE for 11.4
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/terminals/openSUSE_11.4
the standard version is 268 on my 11.4 machine.

I assure you that the targz I downloaded has only 1907 bytes, and when
expanded, it contains several files, those you list below, but all are zero
bytes in length.
However, reading from the patch you post below, it needs changes to the
code, not just to the resources file, so indeed I need a newer package.
I’ll give the repo version you say a try.
…]
It works! Thanyou.
I removed the Xresources changes, and it keeps working.
At least locally, not via ssh -Y from another computer. I wonder why not.
I’m guessing I’ll open a Bugzilla about all this.

I got the updated version from the repo martin_helm said, and now it works
This was very important to me, I use mc a lot, and alt-enter a lot there,
too. It would impair my work.
