Sometimes when I try to resize the owl-beta window, it crashes on me and
the console reports a null argument to command:
resize-window-interactively error. This has happened to me on linux and
sun Athena machines.  It appears to happen randomly when I try to make the
window wider.  fwiw, I run owl-beta on startup but I'm not sure if it's
related to this bug; I have this line in my .startup.X:

xterm -geometry 80x48+768+280 -e owl-beta >& /dev/null &

There's probably a better way to have it run on startup so feel free to
offer suggestions :)
