Neither the soft-reset not the full-reset clears the right part.
Now I'm wondering whether what I can see on the right side are parts
of characters at column 81; indeed this corresponds to the leftmost
pixels of existing characters. The xterm has 80 columns, but the
window contains a few more pixels on the right, so that this could
explain the behavior.
