Yes, the geometry resource for xterm menus is in pixels. Don't specify a
geometry resource for xterm that matches all things. Instead of something
like XTerm*Geometry, specify something like XTerm*VT100*Geometry (which I
know works, since it is in my .Xresources file) or XTerm*VT100.Geometry
(which ought to work, but I don't believe I have tried it. The * is
recommended because of the "toolbar" feature. See "man xterm").
