I'll blame google apps editor for now, anyhow comfortably home and with

If I start rxvt or xterm with geometry forcing number of lines, it works
predictably. Just after enabling tabs, rxvt lines seems dodgy to me. I'm
not saying fault isn't in my end, just can't place it.

One other thing I noticed it, window placement in geometry (--geometry
+x+y) is not honoured if I use tabs, which is quite inconvenient to me.

Agreed, maybe it is compiz acting dodgy then. Funny thing is, if I manually
resize window after starting it, I can't get any half-lines, it'll always
be even. It is only when tabbed rxvt is first started I see this half-line
issue.
Say I start with -pe tabbed -geometry 80x50 I actually get 80x48 + tab
line + extra 'half' line. If I try to resize, it'll shrink to 80x48
exact or grow to 80x49.
