Could do, but since . is a useful filename character it usually seems like a good idea to include it in the set of characters considered a `word' by the terminal double-click logic. I've not used xterm for ages, but a quick check shows that Eterm isn't smart enough to be told that . followed by a word-constituent is good and should be included in a word, whereas a trailing . is a different thing which it doesn't want to include.

So I'm in favour of killing the full-stops.  Sorry. :-(
