[dev] Re: [dvtm] buffered text on resize

Whoops, looks like my patch won't compile if you are using strict C - I
declared an int in a for loop (forced habit, I work in C++ all day). When I
get home from work tonight I'll update the patch but even a Gnome user
should be able to figure out how to fix it.
