I wanted to disable jump scrolling in xterm, so I put the following in
my ~/.Xres file.

xterm*jumpScroll:   off

This file is loaded by an xrdb command when I start the server.  Now,
what happens is that xterm starts with jump scrolling off unless it is
started with the "-ls" option in the command line, in which case jump
scrolling is turned on.  Any idea what causes this?
