Is it possible to configure 2.2.4 to restrict windows to the size of
the screen, even if -geometry requests larger?
Motivation: I want an xterm just tall enough to display an entire
file, but no taller than the screen. This:
xterm -geometry "80x`wc -l < $f | tr -d ' '`" +sb -sl 0 -e less $f
gets the file length almost right -- it's off by one line because it
doesn't allow for the "less" command/status line at the bottom -- but
if the file is longer than 89 lines the window doesn't fit on the
screen. I could write a more complicated script, except that there's
no immediately-obvious way for a script to determine the maximum line
count for whatever display it might happen to be running on.
