xedit....

Yes this dinosaur.

I'm actually liking xedit a bit, but there's two issues:

1) UTF-8

supposedly xedit supports unicode with:
echo Xedit*international: true >> .Xresources && xrdb .Xresources && LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8 xedit

of course when I do this and open a utf-8 file I get:
<<< FILE CONTENTS NOT REPRESENTABLE IN THIS LOCALE >>>

I'm guessing it might be a font issue but I'm not sure.

2) word wrapping

xedit is kind of weird in that sometimes it wraps text and other times it doesn't (sort of like nano's default behavior where you have to scroll off the screen if the line goes off the screen). If I start a new file it will wrap the text, and if I open a file it's about 50-50.
