/* ---------- "Encore clients problem" ---------- */
Problem --

Trying to run xterm client on an Encore Multimax running beta 4.3bsd.
Most other clients work ok.  Some like xcalc, xman have the same problem.
Using default application-defaults.

Server is sun-3-os4.0. X11R4 original distribution, compiled with sun cc.

The window starts with the wrong geometry.  In twm it starts as 8 x -1.
In gwm it is about the same.

I can resize the window, but I can't get the keyboard to respond, or get
the xterm X11 menu to come up (this is with either twm or gwm), or cut-and-
paste the text in my prompt(I do get the right cursor when it is in the
window).

Also, even though I get a command line prompt, it 't the system
doesn't show me being on a port, the only relevant process I see is the
original xterm on the port where I start up the xterm.


Second question (this is probably an easy one) -- on a sparcstation,
this specification for an xterm function in my .twmrc file hangs 
when I select it from my menu.  ("hangs" means the little watch comes up,
and nothing happens after that)

Function "cs2"
{
    !"xterm -name cs2 -title cs2 -fn 8x13 -sb -rw -geometry 80x55+200+100 \
-fg black -bg white \#+903+4 -e rlogin cs2 &"
}

If I reduce it to 
 .... xterm -name cs2 -title cs2 -e rlogin cs2 &  ....

It works fine.  What is the offending particle?  I got tired of rebooting.
How do you abort the process?  The mouse and keyboard seem to be hung up
while the little watch is displayed.
