Fwiw, I see the same problem with 'xterm' on both of my GuixSD laptops, on mips64el and i686. The i686 laptop is running a full GNOME desktop environment, and the mips64el laptop runs a somewhat minified Xfce environment. I remember that 'xterm' worked for me in the past, and specifically that the pop-up menus raised by Ctrl-clicks worked, on both of these machines. However, at some point in the distant past I switched to gnome-terminal, so I'm not sure when 'xterm' became broken. Mark
