I can confirm this behaviour if you run your awm from the xterm console
window.  Typically we don't do this rather we run awm from xinit and then
use the awm -e option to startup my initial set of clients.  This hides
the effect you mentioned since the console xterm csh and awm have
different controlling tty's.
