It's because most, if not all, X-Terminals are character-based.  As opposed to 
other applications which are pixel-based.  Example:
Open a XTerm and type something like:
$ man bash  # or: vim largefile.txt
Then try resizing that window in way that it displays only a portion of a 
character.  You won't be able to do it, because XTerm can only display whole 
characters.  This holds true for any instance of XTerm, no matter whether it's 
on IceWM, KDE, Gnome ...
