Hmm. I'm seeing what I suspect is a related problem in wmii 2.5.2-1
from Debian, where I open an xterm in max layout, and if my first
command is to ssh somewhere else, $COLUMNS and $LINES are still at
80x24.

It appears to be that the xterm is getting mapped and framed _after_
it's already checked it's size. I find pressing enter before doing
anything else solves this...

I dunno if it's really WMII's fault, but I don't recall it happening
under whatever the previous version in Debian was...
