[Cc'd to rxvt-workers] Christian Reis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> typed: :(Apologies for writing directly to you; I tried to find a mailing list :address but sf.net and google didn't find one) : :Hello there, : : I've for a while now been using ion as my primary window manager :(see http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/ ) together with rxvt. :However, for some reason, rxvt fails to set its size correctly when :started up in a frame larger than its default. When this happens, the :terminal only opens up a small fraction of the screen. : :I'm attaching a screenshot so you have an idea of what it ends up :looking like. It has rxvt right after being spawned by another frame, :running vi (which *should* take up the whole screen, but stops at :precisely 25 lines). : :There is something of an analysis of the problem wrt xterm on the FAQ :page. http://wiki.ael.be/ion/index.php/FrequentlyAskedQuestions : :I tried getting rxvt to trigger a rxvt_scr_reset at the start of :rxvt_main_loop but it was no help. Have you seen something like this :before? Have an idea of where to try and tweak a fix? It would be much :appreciated.
You haven't specified which version of rxvt you're using. Try v2.7.7 or later: in src/command.c remove the '#ifdef __CYGWIN32__' and pair '#endif' at the start of the main_loop so that the three/four lines there are compiled in. This causes another size ioctl to be sent to the shell/program once it's indicated that it's running. This will probably be made the default situation unless someone can think of any reason it would cause problems - this is most likely to be caused by someone running a non-shell program in the term.
