This problem is not resolved.  Lars pointed me to an earlier summary
on an xterm issue, and suggested backing out patch 112785-17 and/or
replacing /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun with the one from version 13 of
that patch.  This, however, did not fix the problem.

Casper suggested checking my 'xset' settings (they are correct) and
David mentioned 'xmodmap' (w/o any specifics).  Bertrand suggested
Gnome may have been the problem, also w/o specifics.
