I believe the resolution to these new problems is to specify a different 
(smaller) geometry 
for your xterms and a smaller font for them (maybe 6x9 if you're using fixed 
fonts). The 
lower your resolution is set, the smaller your xterm geometry and font size 
must be, if I 
understand these things correctly. Does that sound worth trying?
