I cannot reproduce this.

Do you mean that this happens only when you use the tabbed extension?
If yes, then I don't think there will or can be a fix for that without
redefining the meaning of those sequences - if some tabs have different
font sizes than others, then the window will have to be resized on tab
switches, and with most window managers this will lead to the window
becoming smaller and smaller as they round down.

Resources are only strings, they don't trigger any changes (the popup
window changes because it uses the resources of the parent window, and you
should see a change only in the netx popup window, of course).
The method to call after font resource changes would be set_fonts (),
which is not exposed to perl atm (you could hack around that by toggling
Opt_skipBuiltinGlyphs one...).

That works, too.

Think about what resources are: some resources cannot be changed, in a
meaningful way, after starting up. Others can be changed without a problem
as they will be looked at each time they are used. And still others can be
changed, but need a trigger function to be called to become effective.
