Agreed, Bernd, configurable would be good. Personally I find that the two-line overlap 
meant that I was always reading those lines twice.

I guess a zero-line overlap could be a problem when the viewer sometimes shows a few 
pixels (part of a line) at either the top or bottom of the screen. Then the viewer 
would have to decide whether it had shown that line already or not when the user paged 
down. If it decided that it had shown that line, the user wouldn't get to read it at 
all.

I know that some other viewers like iSilo and cSpotrun don't show those half-lines (at 
least that's my recollection), so maybe it would be possible to censor them out and 
resolve the problem that way.
