FVWM: Probably a bug - FVWM 2.5 CVS - XTerm geometry and font resize

Hi there.
I am using FVWM 2.5.2 (current CVS, as of 2002/05/06, but it happened
before too), and there seems to be a problem - when changing the fonts
in a running XTerm, i.e. with Shift + Keypad Plus (KP_Add), Shift +
Keypad Minus (KP_Subtract), or the Control + Right click menu, when
the font resizes, the geometry (that is - in characters - lines and
columns) of the XTerm also changes somewhat.

For example, with default XTerm (no custom X resources), it starts
80x24. If I then change the font to Large, the geometry changes to
120x27. When I then change the font to back to Default, the geometry
changes to 80x23 (not back to 80x24).

This happens only with CVS FVWM 2.5, it doesn't happen with FVWM
2.4.6, or with any other window manager, like TWM/MWM/Enlightenment.

No special FVWM configuration is needed to reproduce the problem - it
happens also with no .fvwm2rc at all.

Any idea what the problem might be?
It seems to me like a bug in CVS FVWM, as it does not happen with FVWM
2.4, or with other window managers, and it happens also without any
custom X resources (xrdb -remove) and without a custom FVWM
configuration.

  Any help/fix appreciated, thank you,
  -- Tom
