But when I move it to other screen (switching to the screen and bringing it's virtual desktop there), the application does not change it's size -- urxvt changes it's size, but the app is missing some of it's parts or occupying only part of urxvt.

mc and mocp do fine here. So maybe it's a problem with either mutt or irssi.

I tried mc, it does not happen every time, only something like one time out of five.

Well, mc sometimes fail but it has other problems with layout, so I wouldn't bother about that. It's probably some bug on the way that mc calculates it's own layout which is not always reproducible. Moc, on the other side, does *always* resize ok, so, I am inclined to think that the problem lies in the client app, and not xmonad, the terminal or ncurses.

Which version of ncurses do you have? And, do you have it with unicode? (It could maybe caused by this)

5.6, it's a non-debug build, using unicode and gpm support (not that gpm is relevant here, but there you are). mc 4.6.2_pre1 is built with X,gpm and unicode support. This is Gentoo, so I am 100% that all the apps have been built using the same ncurses version, since there's no prepackaged binary stuff.

Don't worry about that, those things happen :) -- Jesús Guerrero
