System name:		lycus
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2A
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Start up an xterm and an emacs with a negative geometry spec
(80x60-0+0) so it would start up on the right edge of the screen.

What's wrong:
	Under /usr/bin/X11/twm, xterm starts up one pixel too far to the
right (the 1-pixel wide border is not visible).
	emacs starts at the right place.

What should have happened:
	xterm should have gone in the right place.

	My dotfiles indicate that this bug has been present since 7.1.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	twm(1), xterm(1)
