Well, i've never heard of any such problem so far. (The console
driver doesn't matter too much here, but mine is also vt0.) My xterm
menus, emacs menus etc. do work as usual. (But i didn't install
XFree86 3.1.1 yet due to lack of time rolling the compilation.
Anyway, my 3.0.1Z [beta] version might not make a big difference
here.)
Can you try to log into a ``as generic as possible :)'' account and
see if it's still broken? (Just to make sure the application defaults
for xterm ain't broken.)
Can you track the XEvents with xev? You should notice the following
events:
[move pointer into xev window]
...
[Press & release mouse button 1 once]
ButtonPress event, serial 14, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
root 0x2a, subw 0x0, time 636376720, (135,55), root:(259,606),

ButtonRelease event, serial 14, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
