If you're complaining about the fact that typing in an xterm when
you've scrolled back makes it scroll to the bottom, you can add:

XTerm*scrollKey: false

to your .Xresources. If you also want it to not scroll when the
foreground program prints something, you can also add:

XTerm*scrollTtyOutput: false
