Hello,
I just thought I'd post my findings on an issue I have had with Xterm and Fluxbox, and to help with anyone that might experience the problem in the future. It took me a while to work out
)
Opening an Xterm window with fluxbox WM *ocassionally* causes text wrap-around to next line to fail. It seems that theres a bug (if it can be called a bug), where xterm sets its geometry on startup, then fluxbox resizes the xterm window if there is an xterm entry in the FB apps file, however xterm is still subject to its initial geometry settings which causes the problem.
to resolve, use the -wf option to xterm:
from the man page:

(This option indicates that xterm should wait for the window to be mapped the first time before starting the subprocess so that the initial terminal size settings and environment variables are correct. It is the application's responsibility to catch subsequent terminal size changes.)
