Actually, maybe this is an xterm problem?

It seems to be somehow related to the xterm's --enable-toolbar configuration 
(which is turned on in the cygwin package).  If I rebuild xterm with that 
disabled, the problem goes away, and I can also reproduce the problem on F15 
under twm if I build xterm with --enable-toolbar there (which is not enabled 
in the distro supplied package)
