Problem: getting undersized xterm menus in R4 (Font is correct).

You may also encounter the same problem with a correct app-default file.
In your .Xdefaults file, if you had something like:

xterm*geometry:        80x24

in R3, this geometry (interpreted as colunms x lines) only applied to the text
area of xterm. BUT, in R4, menus are made of widgets too, and the previous
resource line matches also for the menus. Then you get 80x24 pixels menus.

In R4, you should use:

xterm*vt100.geometry:        80x24

And the menus will keep default sizes.

P.S: man xterm(1) is the second man page to read after man X(1), it also
contains a lot of useful info.
