Sorry, forgot to mention. I downloaded 2.7.10 just to make sure the
latest version still has the same bug.
You mean this change?

Unfortunately, this does not work for me. The terminal still doesn't
take up the whole space assigned to it. Would you like to get access to
a box with ssh that can demo the issue? It would save the ion install,
though it's such a great WM :-)

For now the only workaround I see is calling `resize' right in
my bash_profile. Even then, the width is not set up correctly; the only
way to get that to work is to resize the window temporarily; when this
happens, a correct `size refresh' is triggered and everything works fine
from then on. Tuomo even added a hack to do this `magically' but it
doesn't seem to work in the case of rxvt either.
Take care,
