All my xterm windows (and only my xterm windows) have a black line
next to the scroll bar. The line is one pixel wide, runs the entire
length of the window and has some random fuzz.

The line appears when located on 1 out of every 4 columns of the screen.
For example, 'xterm -b 1 -bw 1 -geometry +X+Y' will have the black line
in its window for X mod 4 = 0 and all values of Y. Positioning the window
on these same location through other means does not make a difference.
Anyone else has had this problem ? Knows the cause ??
Better yet: Have a solution ??
