Most of them. X.Org's changelog doesn't give enough detail to tell
without running diff.  However diff'ing the trees shows lots of keyword
mismatches (X.Org's copy is consistently incorrect), so there's a lot
of diff to read.

xterm patch #185 is post-4.4, and according to fd.o's CVS is not in the
release-1 branch.
