i'm running now:
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-9

and

Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-9


I'm seeing it still, reversed xterm, normal xterm, different fonts:

$ xterm -rv -vb -fn courier
xterm:  unable to open font "courier", trying "fixed"....
* effect is still there

$ xterm -rv -vb -fn 5x8    
* idem

$ xterm -rv -vb -fn 6x13bold
* idem

$ xterm -rv -vb -fn "-monotype-courier new-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-5"
* idem

Package: rxvt
Version: 1:2.6.4-6

doesn't have the artifact - so indeed it looks to be a xterm problem.

I could not (quickly) make it happen that _all_ X related packages were
of version 4.2.1-9, but - heh - if 'apt' doesn't complain I also don't :)
