Yes, it's an Xaw bug.  The easiest way to prevent it is to use
vncviewer from the command-line instead.

If someone could craft a minimal Xt application that uses
asciiSink.echo to demonstrate the bug in order to show the X people
the bug, that would be great.  I had a go, but I'm no X hacker.

For an experimental Xaw patch, see
