Interesting.  So, I _can_ reproduce it in Xnest and Xephyr, but it's
dependant on the MenuFont.  The builtin default is
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*", which looks fine.
But with "-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--*-140-*-*-*", it gets shifted.

A few-pixel shift in things is characteristic of the font height
estimation changes we landed just after 3.8.2 (r298).  And if I fire
up that nest'd ctwm with LANG=C or an ISO8859-1 charset, the shift
does go away.  So that at least points a good finger at where the
problem is.
