And me three (or five, or how many people have agreed by now). And thank 
you for writing up instructions on stopping it.

My only problem, it doesn't seem to work for me. I usually SSH into my 
Linux box from elsewhere. According to "set | grep -i term", my 
$TERM=xterm. My .Xdefaults file already had the line

XTerm.VT100.titeInhibit:  true

in it; I added your specified version of

XTerm*titeInhibit:  true

, but vi, less, and the rest still blank the screen on exit, even after 
logging out and back in again.

I don't suppose you have any other suggestions? I'm using Slackware 9.0.0, 
and I'd love to be able to change this behavior back to the more useful way.
