twm.  The same as I've always run for the past ~4 years.  The problem
doesn't go away when I exit twm.  It also doesn't go away under
WindowMaker (wmaker).

The problem goes away if I delete the geometry line from .Xdefaults:

*xterm*geometry: 80x58+0+0

...but I can't see anything wrong with that specification.  I tried adding
a blank line after it, just to make sure that it wasn't an improperly
terminated line, but that didn't do any good.
