[opensuse] Resetting xterm?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


Hi,

I have a smallish problem.

When exiting a program inside an xterm sometimes the display is not left
as it was before. For instance, 'mc' sometimes leaves the cursor as white
box on white background, a bit difficult to see. Minicom leaves it as
yellow on white. All this after the "clear" and "reset" commands.

Any other possibility to reset it (black box on white background)?

Of course, I can close that xterm and start another, but perhaps there is
a way. Is it an xterm bug? An application bug?
