The bad sample would be easier to compare if it used the same fontsize as
the good one (and if I had some idea what the font resource settings in
use were).  Also - not sure whether this is a Debian patch issue, or my
bug - it would be nice if you could compile/test the upstream package
(whatever "xterm -v" says).
