  In lines 2124 and 2125 in the R4 xterm/charproc.c:VTRealize() we see
the lines:

	screen->max_col = (width - 1);	/* units in character cells */
	screen->max_row = (height - 1);	/* units in character cells */

The corresponding lines (2052 and 2053) in the R4
xterm/charproc.c:VTRealize() we see the lines:

	screen->max_col = width;
	screen->max_row = height;

I believe that this difference is responsible for xplaces reporting the
wrong width and height geometry for xterms (off by one less than they
should be).

  Is this a bug?  A feature?  What?  I'm too stupid with regard to X to
know the difference.
