out-of-the-box apparently doesn't include the small fix to make it work
with Cygwin's configuration.  (It wouldn't be in upstream since that would
potentially break other packages which can add localized menus, and 
there doesn't appear to be a programmatic way for xterm to decide if it 
should apply the workaround).
