Why is it that whenever I run XRN on an RT the window is taller than the screen?
Because of the title bar on the window, and because mwm is a stupid
window manager and doesn't realize that it shouldn't let windows make
themselves larger than the screen when they start up.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to make xrn work on all displays,
because it's impossible to know which windowmanagers everyone will be
using.
If you want to fix this, you should put an "xrn.geometry:" resource
in your .Xresources file to specify what you want the default geometry
to be. See the file /usr/sipb/lib/app-defaults/XRn to find out what
the default is.
