Sorry, I mis-pasted this paragraph. It should say:

    The following resources are specified as part of the vt100 widget
    (class VT100).  They are specified by patterns such as
    "XTerm.vt100.NAME".

So the line to put in ~/.Xresources would be:

XTerm.vt100.disallowedWindowOps = SetWinSizeChars

But, again, I don't insist :)
