Comment 2 Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev 2007-03-06 14:21:44 UTC
This should be tried with "-geometry 10x10", not "-geometry 80x40"

Or else, simply "echo 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890"

I also have this problem when using tabbed terminals (applications complaining about a too small terminal width). Did not look into it further, as I prefer to use screen over a single urxvt for now
