Sorry I didn't pick up on the only xterm part.  I wonder if there is any
chance it could be a font problem?  (BTW, I'm curious as to what font you
use for PuTTY.  I use "MS Gothic" in order to get CJK, but I'd like to
find a complete UTF-8, fixed space font for MS Windows.)

Vaguely I remember hearing about problems with xterm -- how about other
terminal emulations that you can use with X?  Or maybe update to the
latest xterm; see: "http://dickey.his.com/xterm/xterm.faq.html".

Since I compile screen with ncursesw and don't use X, I suppose I'd better
just clam up rather than confuse the issue.  I'd be very interested if
you find a solution; please report back.  Thanks.
