That doesn't seem to be it -
---------------------------------------------------------------
ben@Fenrir:~$ xrdb -remove -all
ben@Fenrir:~$ xrdb -query
ben@Fenrir:~$ xterm -xrm 'XTerm*VT100*geometry: 1200x700+0+21'
---------------------------------------------------------------
The xterm that's spawned above does not have the 'tiny menu' behavior.
However, running something like
xterm -xrm 'XTerm*VT100*geometry: 80x24+0+21'
without flushing the xrdb cache _does_ have it. Does the stuff in xrdb
perhaps override the '-xrm' setting in some odd way? The size of the
terminal does change when set with '-xrm', but the 'tiny menu' behavior
does not change unless the cache is flushed.
The problem sounds as if it may or may not be in 'xterm'... but if it
isn't, I'm puzzled as to where else it could be.
