Bug#541109: Similar problems with 244-1 and ratpoison here

[Axel Beckert <abe@deuxchevaux.org>]

Hi,

after the upgrade to 244-1 I had similar, but nevertheless different
prooblems here:

Every freshly opened uxterm (no font changing or the like) seemed
empty, completely black, no prompt. After a while I found out that the
prompt was indeed there, but a few lines above the top, so hitting
Enter several times made the prompt visible. Calling "reset" or
"resize" blindly made the xterm working fine again, too.

Downgrading to 243-1 from Squeeze made this and other problems
disappear again.

One thing which may be different to GyrosGeier's setup is that I have
configured a dead area in ratpoison for the panel:

set padding 0 0 0 40

(It means 40 pixels at the bottom.)

I also have set some fonts and other things set via xrdb:

XTerm*Font: fixed
XTerm*font1: -misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-60-iso10646-1
XTerm*font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-70-iso10646-1
