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)
