you are using the following resource:
xscreensaver*geometry: 64x64+658-20
Because of the way the X toolkit works, it is generally better to use
xscreensaver.geometry: 64x64+658-20
that way, other windows (such as the menus) aren't affected by the
resource. The menu resource isn't documented (except in the source
:-) probably because there is no reason to be setting it yourself.
From looking at your .Xresources, you already seem to realize that
xterm is weird, so I won't lecture you on that.
