It's not about whether LC_ALL is set; it's about what the active
locale is (however it gets found) and what's in the fontset for that
locale.  So, maybe the opensuse installs aren't using a Unicode locale
in the first place (e.g., check locale(1)), or maybe it doesn't have a
fontset with broad glyph coverage installed (so the only characters it
finds are "normal" height).  Or it's not impossible they have some
extra patch in their version of ctwm that isn't part of upstream.

But, at any rate, before that rev, [upstream] ctwm will get the
"wrong" height.  Or, depending on your perspective, it'll gets the
_right_ height, and after those changes it now gets the "wrong" one,
just that it happens to be a wrong one that usually looks better.
