    The SE of IBM said "We cannot understand the
    meaning of the error message - Request code 1, minor code 0, serial #70 
    resource id -2, because we cannot find it in the manual" ..... 

Geez, that's pretty poor.

    Aren't DECwindow (X11R3 compliant) and AIXwindow (X11R3 compliant) 
    compatible ?

Assuming no one has any bugs, yes. :-)  But as you know ...

    Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.

I suggest you try running aixterm through xscope in verbose mode, and
see what the detailed values in the failing CreateWindow request are.
Some attribute should have a value of -2.  See what the protocol
specification has to say about this attribute.  That will tell you
where the bug lies.
