True.  The {dashed|solid} options seem to be missing from the terminal's
help output.  Perhaps the idea was to hold off advertising it until
dashlength could be implemented?

That's not much of a description to work from.
Have any more information?
Is it just that the terminal doesn't offer the "dashlength" option?

See other message.  I don't think there's anything wrong with the x11
terminal.  You could make a case that the way x11 itself works is a 
problem, but X has been that way for 25 years now.
