Ah ok.  Now that I know the meaning I guess it is a feature ;-) I have
just checked and it is really less obvious (or distracting) with the
gtk3 backend.  I don't know why.

For my patch, it shouldn't change any behaviour.  It is just:

    - less code in xterm.c
    - one less call to XFillRectangle

But maybe there are some X11 optimization that I'm aware of: like it is
better to do two small area XFillRectangle than one big one.  So it's up
to you to decide if it should be applied or just ditched.

Thanks.
