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.
