What wacky thing are you trying now?

  Run x programs from the x11r5 locker.  (actually, I've been doing it
  for a long while now).  In particular, I tried to resize an x11r5
  xterm.

What broke?  

  Resizeing the xterm doesn't affect the tty settings, so programs
  running in the xterm (like, say, a shell) don't realize that the
  window changed size.  At a guess, it's not dealing correctly with
  POSIX/SysV signal semantics, but I'm just guessing that becuase
  that's the problem with everything else :-)
