The white space (~16 pixels wide) is there because the shelltool is
actually a cmdtool with scrolling disabled.  The white space was
necessary to keep from growing/shrinking the window when the scrollbar
was added back in. If you "pop-up" the floating menu over the shelltool
then select the "Enable Scrolling" menu item, you'll see the scrollbar
appear.  Additionally, if you pop-up the cmdtool's menu you get all the
normal text editing features (find, undo, paste, match) within the
cmdtool and you can also select "File Editor=>Enable" and insert a text
editor in the bottom half of your cmdtool to edit/save/store any files
while contining to make use of the scrolling cmdtool.

Sorry for the "sales pitch", but   If you really hate it and can't make
use of the cmdtool features (or shelltool's "white space"), I'd suggest
checking out xterm.  Sorry.
