next prob, now all my xterms are started with nice colours i have a very strange issue. All windows in ratpoison are full screen. Hitting ^t c spawns a new xterm. In the new xterms, when i type vim, sometimes vim takes up the whole xterm but on other occasions it only uses a section of the xterm in the top left hand corner. I did ^t c, vi, :q!, ^d 10 times to see if there was a pattern to wether vim occupied the whole xterm, i recorded the results: full,topleft,topleft,full,full,topleft,full,topleft,full,full very strange behaviour, and seemingly without pattern :( any idea why vim [or mutt] or any console program would occupy the full xterm? note that ls and cat do use the whole of the xterm even when vim/mutt/modconf/etc just use a portion. thanks again, -- hugh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
