If you startup a textronics window without a windowmanager running,
using xterm -t, xterm will create a window which looks like a dot in the
upper left hand corner. Real annonying as it's setuid root. Xterm should
create a reasonable sized window and not just a dot then like xterm w/o
command line options does. 


(To verify the fact, kil your window manager, use xterm -t &. You will
see a dot appear in the upper leftcorner. Find out which csh is yours
refering to that window, kill it and the dot disappears. Real nifty)
