xterm

I'm using natty. I'm using classic. I use raw xterms (the latest build, 270, in fact). I've done

xset b 100 
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/message.ogg bell.ogg

But I want something more fine grained than this: I want to say "if the bell originated in some particular pseudoterminal make a particular sound, but if it originated in some other particular pseudoterminal, generate some other sound"

I am using xterm on RHEL with KDE. Usually after a couple of days, the xterm terminals get stuck i.e. I am not able to resize or relocate them. After this, even if I open a new terminal, it is stuck the same way. What I do is logout and login again. Is this a bug with xterm? Is there a known solution… >>> More
