I haven't delved deeper into the issue, but I've noticed strange goings on with 
bitmap font handling in Xorg. FVWM is particularly affected on my system, 
producing much too tall window titles with a completely normal bitmap font like 
Helvetica.

It seems to be some kind of combination of font, Xorg version and window 
manager version causing it and I've noticed it in TWM, too - but not yet in 
CTWM. Compiling TWM from source gives different results than when using the TWM 
package supplied with my distribution.

If you haven't already, I suggest you try to compile the latest version of CTWM 
from source on your machine. Perhaps that will resolve the issue.

Best regards
Carl
