Hereby confirmed, the cause being Xaw3D.  I hacked the build process
to exclude Xaw3D and Xfig now works well.  Personally I don't care
much about 3D buttons and menus so I don't mind the hack, but I am
wondering whether this is an Xfig problem of an Xaw3D one.

By the way, the immediatly earlier variant of Xfig had the same
problem for me as far as I remember, and also had a nasty bug in the
Export dialog (which would stretch to about a gazillion screens in
height as soon as somebody changed the format to export to).

If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as
it isn't, it ain't.  That's logic.
