	Thanks to both -

Not true on this Redhat 5.2 system with fvwm2:


: vi ~/.Xdefaults
...
: xrdb -merge <~/.Xdefaults
: xrdb -query | egrep -i 'xterm.*(font|geom)'
xterm*font:     fixed
xterm_color*font:       fixed
xterm_color.geometry:   90x30
: xterm&


The xterm window that pops up has menus that look and  act  perfectly
normal.   I wonder if you could give some more details.  What sort of
system, which wm, etc.
