When I completely log out and log back in, the underscore character will 
be invisible in xterm.  If I do "xrdb .Xresources", subsequent xterms 
created will show underscores.

Investigating further, I tried starting with no .Xresources file.  This 
gave me a much-too-small xterm window.  When I do "xrdb -merge 
.Xresources-foobar", which is my normal .Xresources file, I get my favored 
xterm settings EXCEPT that underscores are invisible.  If I don't use the 
"-merge" flag, then that will cause subsequent xterms to show underscores. 
What's going on here?  How can I fix it?

Here's my .Xresources file:

xterm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono :antialias=true
xterm*faceSize: 12

XTerm*renderFont: true
XTerm*utf8: 1
xterm*vt100.initialFont: 3
xterm*loginShell: true
xterm*vt100*geometry: 80x24
xterm*saveLines: 2000
xterm*charClass: 33:48,35:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,64:48,95:48,126:48
xterm*foreground: rgb:ee/ee/ee
xterm*background: rgb:00/00/00
