"avoid repainting the screen" sounds very like what I'm seeing in mutt.
Layout inside the xterm window is correct, it's just that characters are...
missing.

Maybe - if it were that simple, I think I'd be seeing more reports.

Here's an example of what I see with mutt running inside xterm:

thanks. I understand the report, but the specific item that you pointed
to in the changelog refers to repainting the whole screen when an
application assigns new colors.

The case that I've been investigating might be related (or I might simply
not see it due to different resource settings).  It might be helpful to
see what "appres XTerm" (or the xrdb output), so I can check that.

I am seeing the same problems using "make menuconfig" on a kernel source, or in midnight commander.

Using the debian package
	xterm 222-1
