it worked fine with netbsd-1.5 on i386, X11R6 version 4.0.1 and before it. i
upgraded to netbsd-1.6, X11R6 4.2.0 few months ago and it worked no more. my
colleague upgraded to 1.6 week ago and experienced the same "problem".

hope that the wrong information in the man (-e switch is incompatible
with -ls;  xterm -ls -e ssh name works fine) will be removed...
