Ok, it looks like the problem is some interaction with compiz.  Now
that I've switched back to metacity (did: apt-get purge compiz
compiz-gnome) I don't see the corruption that I did before.

But I do see annoying flashes when I resize the xterm.

And another note, when running with the compiz window manager, if I
re-sized the xterm, I would lose the ability to grab the lower right
corner of the window, at least until I resize it using the LEFT and
TOP sides of the window back to the original size.  This was because I
re-sized down and to the right using the lower right hand corner grab
area to re-size.

Very strange, but obviously something wrong with either compiz, DRM,
Radeon driver(s), X, etc.  So it's probably NOT an xterm bug.  But
I'll re-install compiz, re-enable it and see if it happens with other
terminals or windows when I re-size them.

Thanks,
John
