   The following diff appears to be necessary to allow the xterm package
to correctly parse arguments to command line switches such as -w.  The
file in question is lisp/term/xterm.el:

  ;; This is run after the command args are parsed.
  (defun x-handle-switch (switch)
!<  (if (x-handle-switch-1 switch (car command-line-args))
!<      (setq command-line-args (cdr command-line-args))))
  
  (defun x-handle-switch-1 (switch arg)
    (cond ((string= switch "-r")

  ;; This is run after the command args are parsed.
  (defun x-handle-switch (switch)
!>  (if (x-handle-switch-1 switch (car command-line-args-left))
!>      (setq command-line-args-left (cdr command-line-args-left))))
  
  (defun x-handle-switch-1 (switch arg)
    (cond ((string= switch "-r")


-----------------------------------

   The other problem I reported (establishing a connection to the server)
appears at this point to be related to some hostname lookup problems with 
the X library.
