Issue 151: XMonad needs to spot resize events in non-floating windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=151 Comment #1 by SpencerJanssen: When you change the font in the tiled window, does it actually change size? If so, xterm is in violation of the ICCCM, technically making it xterm's bug and not ours :). However, we may be able to handle the illegal size change more gracefully. Otherwise, if the application is merely requesting a resize (but does not actually do it!), xmonad is exhibiting the intended behavior. Tiled window positions are dictated by the active layout algorithm, nothing else. Again, in this case I'd say the bug is still xterm's, applications can not assume that their resize requests will be honored by the window manager. Have you checked how urxvt (or any other terminal, for that matter) behaves? We tend to recommend against xterm because of various little annoyances it has when used in a tiling WM.
