In my fiddling, I tried adding '-geometry "80x25"' to my rxvt
invocation just to see what would happen. Strangest thing - my window
size was *26* lines. When I set -geometry to "80x24", rxvt opened up
a *25* line window.
Any idea why this might be happening? In all cases, if I manually
resize the window, this seems to "sync" things up and everything's
kosher after that.
Thanks for your help,
