I finally had the time to check this myself. The latest
cvs sources (fvwm) do grant Eterm's -x option. Furthermore
I checked the latest stable Eterm versions (0.8.9 and 0.8.10).
Eterm *does* use Motif hints, so I think we don't have to do
anything here. The problem probably was temporarily caused by
some of my 'Style' changes. Or are there any reasons why this
still is a problem?
