Folks,

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with OpenBox.

According to the link http://beforewisdom.com/blog/tech/xterm-with-a-scrollbar/, I have added the following lines to my .Xresource followed by "xrdb -merge .Xresource."


! Set up scrollbars - get them, get them on the right side, and be
! able to scroll them with the right,left, or middle mouse button
xterm*ScrollBar: on
*XTerm*scrollBar: true
xterm*rightScrollBar: true
xterm*multiScroll: on
xterm*jumpScroll: on

xterm*scrollbar.Translations: #override \n\
:StartScroll(Continous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb()\n\
:MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
:StartScroll(Continous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb()\n\
:MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
:StartScroll(Continous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb()\n\
:MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
:NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()


However, when I spawn a new terminal window, I still do not see any scrollbars.

I am wondering if there is something that I missed.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter
