'Twas brillig, and Colin Guthrie at 28/07/11 12:37 did gyre and gimble:
+> Hmmm,

+> This is weird... It's maybe due to some new gnome thing, but as I can't
+> log in to gnome at present, I can't confirm. But if I start
+> gnome-terminal under KDE (konsole seriously sucks - it's impossible to
+> use screen with it for example as it doesn't update it's titles quickly
+> enough to see how many screen windows you have), then the window is
+> automatically resized... to about 3 lines high (same width). If I expand
+> it again and open a new tab within the window, the window is again
+> resized to ~3 lines high but it's also shrunk width wise too!!!
+> 
+> Does anyone else see this? Is it a KDE compositing/window management
+> thing or is gnome-terminal itself doing this strange thing (perhaps to
+> fit in with gnome 3 stuff in some other ways?)
+> 
+> Any thoughts appreciated!
