You are right... I think the best statement is made by the comments just
following these bogus lines in the source of Xterm:

        /* XXX This is bogus.  We are parsing geometries too late.  This
         * is information that the shell widget ought to have before we get
         * realized, so that it can do the right thing.
         */

Anyways, I will surely modify gwm to handle this case, (as seems to have done
Tom LaStrange with twm), but the .Xdefault trick will do the job till the R4
is out... (Bull is officially putting it in the app-defaults on its port of X)
