I sent this message to xpert, but it never appeared here...
Version 6.6B of xterm as distributed in mod.sources has some problems
with positioning icons. It is possible to get xterm to put its icon
off of the screen and the icon-positioning parameter to xterm only
approximately works. Here is the fix. Fixes for these problems were
posted to xpert, but I guess they didn't make it into the version that
got sent to mod.sources.
