What's wrong:
When using mwm & xterm pop up/down scrollbars, things can get mightily
confused.

Create an xterm with no scrollbar, then maximize with mwm.  press
<Ctrl><Btn2> and select the 'Scrollbar' option.  Watch your xterm window
go haywire.

If you play around some more, you may be able to get it unconfused, but
I found that very hard to do.

What should have happened:

Mwm shouldn't wrench the window around and totally screw up the geometry.
xterm shouldn't entice mwm to do this.
