    Hy there.

    I have a similar problem with my setup. (I use an
"auto-maximizing" window manager (i3, and before that ion3), and when
I open a terminal (rxvt-unicode), with screen in it, screen thinks
that the size of the terminal is smaller (80x25?), but after I press
any key and the program redraws something the correct size is found.
(This happens only about 33% of the times.)) (I use the latest (or at
least quite new version) of screen (from ArchLinux).)

    I've tried to solve this problem myself with commands like resize,
fit, height, width, etc. No success. The only solution (which I don't
find satisfying, but annoying) is to put a 'sleep 1' in my screen.rc,
and I've solved the problem. (But every time I open a console I have
to stare 1 second at it...)

    Any feedback to our problems? :)

    Thanks,
    Ciprian.
