Same problem for me. I just upgraded to Heron, and I've noticed that Xterm sometimes works and sometimes does not. For example, I just tried all the xterm commands which tadowguy filled in in the first post, and they sometimes worked, and sometimes did not. (yes, I re-ran them a couple times).
Right now I've discovered that "xterm +sb" worked four times in a row. It seems to work every time.

I cant find a core dump (I've set 'ulimit -c 1024') in pwd nor in /var/crash.
