I've just noticed a little oddity with Epoch 3.2pl2 -- its windows
lie about their sizes. My default geometry is 90x30, and the main
windows come up 90x30 (according to both my count and (screen-height)
and (screen-width)).
However, if I use a window manager to resize them, the indicated
size is 86x28 (true for twm, tvtwm, and mwm; I don't know how to make
olwm display size while resizing). Xwininfo reports the size in pixels
correctly, which would give the correct dimensions if divided by the
font size.
This leads me to believe that the width-increment and
height-increment in the size-hints are being calculated incorrectly,
though I can't figure out how, since both Epoch and Emacs apparently use
the same font attributes for the increment calculations.
It's not an important problem, just a cosmetic one, but I wondered
if anyone else has it.
