Bug#365602: xterm: When changing font size in fixed-size window, COLUMNS is not recalculated

[Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>]

Package: xterm
Version: 210-2
Severity: minor

I use fixed-size (full screen) windows under ion, so when I change the
font size in xterm, the window size does not change. Hence, COLUMNS
and LINES should be recalculated, but they aren't. Since the window
size doesn't change, I imagine the WM doesn't send SIGWINCH, so
presumably it should be up to xterm to determine that its window
hasn't changed size as requested.
