I've sometimes noticed this happen with Eterm (and xterm); resizing the affected window has always fixed the problem, so I assume it's xterm or something getting confused for a second. It's usually only if I resize a window while it's still loading, which would seem to be what rat poison does. I don't know if you can resize windows in rat poison at all, so this might not be any help at all, sorry :) -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | http://www.ertius.org/ GPG keys: 1024D/1E73B7CD, 4096R/3ABDE5EC | Do I look like I want a CC?
