*might* help, but you may need to consider using a non-broken terminal program. Too many lazy X11 programmers don't understand that the window manager has the final word on window sizes and it's up to their program to deal.
When you say "non-broken terminal program" are you talking about my terminal emulator? In the SS I was running Terminator, but I have also tried with gnome-terminal, urxvt, rxvt, xterm and aterm and the problem persists.
Most of the rxvt family, including aterm, are known to not work properly. urxvt *should* work as should gnome-terminal. xterm might or might not depending on exact version.
Curiously lxterminal, Terminal (xfce terminal) and guake, vim covers
I believe lxterminal, Terminal, and gnome-terminal all are based on the same Gtk+ VTE widget and all should work the same way. (They are NOT based on xterm.) -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
