It could also be a problem with your window manager or a problem
with linpac (although that seems unlikely as they're running inside
Xterms).

Does it do the same thing on another screen that has two xterms on
it that are NOT running linpac?

Do you get any sort of border color change when you select various
windows?  Is that functioning properly on the screen with the two
linpac's running?
