The menu with fonts is now tied to Ctrl<Btn2Down> using the dec-u-serve

Some time ago it worked for me this way too.
But I probably misconfigured something, because there is no more
action on Ctrl-Mousebutton.
I have spent several hours in debugging but I cannot find what went wrong.
Therefore I am looking for Plan B: another terminal emulator.
You didn't do this did you?

The problem is, that there are NO popup-menus at all in xterm any more,
not only too small ones.

I am using already xbindkeys, but I want xterm specific actions!
With xbindkeys I can only start other programs.

change your +tb xterm option to -tb so you get the toolbar which will
have the menu options.
This works only with very new xterms versions, not with the one delivered
by Ubuntu.
But I can compile and install a newer xterm version.
The *vtMenu* sets various modes in the VT102 emulation, and is popped up
when the CONTROL key and pointer button two are pressed in the VT102 window.
You aren't in VT102 mode anymore. You have a -t instead of a +t on your
command line options.
No, I do not use -t or +t
Either that or you have TERM and TERMCAP
environment variables set so that you are either in VT220 or some
Tektronix mode. The vtMenu will not come up if you are not in VT102 mode.
I do not have *any* xterm popup (any more)!
No mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu, tekMenu
As I wrote: I surely have misconfigured something... but where and what
and how can I debug it?
