Most X implementations don't do this kind of hand holding.  The following
lines in ~/.profile will do what you want under plain X11.  Should work for
vue too, if you have ~/.vueprofile call ~/.profile.

# Set up the terminal 
  case "${TERM}" in
    hpterm) #This is an X11 window; get its size
       stty hupcl erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D" susp "^Z" dsusp "^Y"
       eval `/usr/bin/X11/resize -u`
       ;;
    xterm) #This is an X11 window; get its size
       stty hupcl erase "^H" kill "^U" intr "^C" eof "^D" susp "^Z" dsusp "^Y"
       eval `/usr/bin/X11/resize -u`
       ;;
    esac
