Hello,

I have pine 4.10, XFree86 3.3.2 with XFree86 xterm, Fvwm 2.3.15

- I launch the pine mail program in an xterm.
- I maximize xterm with the fvwm2 builtin Maximize function.
- pine behaves correctly and adjusts to the new window size
- but now, I right click to change the font to a smaller one
- the xterm is blanked out for a few seconds, then pine reappears
  occupying only part of the screen (incorrectly).

I repeat the experiment without pine:

- I launch an xterm.
- echo $LINES (output: just '\n', as I noted in another e-mail, anyway...)
- I maximize xterm with the fvwm2 builtin Maximize function.
- echo $LINES (output: 43)
- change font to "Tiny" (output: 43 ... wrong!)
- Minimize and then Maximize with fvwm2 builtin Maximize function.
- echo $LINES (output: 80 ... right!)

Cheers,

Neil
