    In the days of yore and X10 and uwm, the left mouse button gave
    you an 80x24 xterm, the center lets the user select an arbitary
    size, and the right mouse button gave you an 80x65 xterm.

Correct semantics (as I recall) for the right button only for a certain
font size.  The right button gave you a "full screen height" window,
which happened to be 65 lines for the default font.

    Now, under uwm or awm, the left button and middle buttons work
    correctly, but the right button seems to give you a random window
    height.  Does anyone understand this?

As I recall, another magic option somewhere in X10 was whether or not
to clip to the screen for right button.  The X11 uwm has the latter
behaviour.

    Are the Zoomed window hints supported at all.

No.
