Roberto E. Vargas Caballero ba1e9daeef Call XdbeQueryExtension before of calling any Xdbe function 
XdbeQueryExtension() tells to the caller if the Xdbe extension is present in
the X server, so it should be called for sanity. But like is said in
XdbeQueryExtension(3):

	No other Xdbe functions may be called before this function.  If a
	client violates this rule, the effects of all subsequent Xdbe calls
	that it makes are undefined.

it is mandatory call this function.

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple virtual terminal emulator for X which sucks less.


Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running st
----------
If you don't install st, define TNAME to "xterm" in config.h or make sure to at
least compile st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -s st.info

It should print the path of the compiled terminfo entry. You can
safely remove it if you don't plan to use st anymore.
See the man page for additional details.
