The problem is, that there are NO popup-menus at all in xterm any more,
not only too small ones.

I am using already xbindkeys, but I want xterm specific actions!
With xbindkeys I can only start other programs.

But I can compile and install a newer xterm version.

I do not have *any* xterm popup (any more)!
No mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu, tekMenu

As I wrote: I surely have misconfigured something... but where and what
