Hi Zheng,

Now the xvfb-run test depends on xterm, so we can't simply update xterm,
we might add a new xterm package and hide the original xterm for
xvfb-run only.

Yes, we could rename the current 'xterm' variable to xterm/pinned, make
it hidden, then proceed to add a new 'xterm' package which inherits from
it, at its latest version.


I agree with making a separate xterm package for tests. Since naming is one of the hardest things in computer science, how about naming the pinned version 'xterm-for-tests' instead?
