I'm happily using RESIZEHINTS with urxvt to avoid the redraw bug that has been discussed here a number of times. I don't mind the little extra space around my terminal windows, actually it doesn't really matter whether I have the extra space outside the window or inside the window (between the last row/column of text and bottom/right window border). Either way there's space wasted and at least in my case there's not bugs. I reckon it looks good too. So my vote is no. > I like to see all windows tiled to fit the whole space they can.

It's just an idea of using as much space as possible (which happens to change in large steps for text terminals). If you look at the tiles in my bathroom, there's about 2mm space between them :). > The only logical place i can imagine for it is for the floating terminals. This would be unorthogonal. Nobody forces anyone to use the feature. But I'm sure there's a number of users that find it sensible. Best, -- [a]
