Try starting these clients without giving any of your private X resource
specifications to them.  Look for geometry specifications in your resource
specs that could be causing this.  In particular, change xterm*geometry 
to xterm*vt100.geometry.

Yeah, I got a clue.  Compile this client with a compiler other than 
gcc 1.34, 1.35, or 1.36.
