No go.

Here's what I have:

~/.Xresources:
------------------------------------------------------------
xterm*VT100*geometry: 80x25
------------------------------------------------------------

~/.xinitrc
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
if [ x"$XWINHOME" != x ]; then
    XINIT_DIR=$XWINHOME/lib/X11/xinit
else
    XINIT_DIR=/usr/X386/lib/X11/xinit
fi
sysresources=$XINIT_DIR/.Xresources
sysmodmap=$XINIT_DIR/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $userresources
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

# start some nice programs

echo 'Starting programs...'

xterm -geometry 80x24+530+0 -fg "hot pink" -bg black &
xterm -geometry 80x24+530+344 -fg "yellow2" -bg black &

exec twm
------------------------------------------------------------

The following is the output of xev when I hit the control button:
------------------------------------------------------------
KeyPress event, serial 15, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x2b, subw 0x0, time 2826510115, (91,21), root:(199,274),
    state 0x10, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

KeyRelease event, serial 17, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x2b, subw 0x0, time 2826511250, (91,21), root:(199,274),
    state 0x14, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""
------------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea what the heck is going on.

Marc.
