It is, as I am clicking the window I want to resize, and using the mouse to
drag the bottom right corner to the dimensions that I want.  

SSHing in to my Mandriva box, it works perfectly.

SSHing in to my SUSE Linux box, I have to do an "eval `resize`".


SSHing in to my Ubuntu 9.10 box, it works perfectly.


Something must be broken in SUSE Linux....
