I am having some issues with rxvt-unicode using massive amounts of ram maybe because of using CJK fonts.
On the other hand I cannot get XTerm to display CJK text.
Here's my XTerm Xresources.

My X startup script runs these commands.
setenv XIM ibus
setenv GTK_IM_MODULE ibus
setenv QT_IM_MODULE ibus
setenv XMODIFIERS @im=ibus
setenv XIM_PROGRAM ibus-daemon
setenv XIM_ARGS "--daemonize --replace --xim"
ibus-daemon --daemonize --replace --xim &

With that XTerm fails to type any unicode font, no CJK input or output, copy and paste shows empty spaces.
RXVT-Unicode works but uses gobs of ram 10719 user 1 20 0 22697M 253M select 3 0:01 0.47%

Any ideas to; Fix the high ram usage on RXvt-unicode Get XTerm to display Unicode Other lightweight terminal emulators?
