(This may be true pre-7.0 for all I know, but I figured out point it out here)
The default size for the xmh window is too large to fit vertically on my RT,
using 7.0. When the top is flush with the top of the screen, the bottom
hangs off past the bottom of the screen. I imagine the default was calculated
for VAXen, or maybe the standard RT maximum height has been miscalculated
(I've seen other programs that were also just a tad too large window-size for
my screen by default). Anyway, could it please be made shorter.
For the record, the maximum height my screen allows by hand (in mwm) is 737
pixels. (Maybe the default used is 750?)
If the default window size is above 735 pixel's for any applications, it
should probably be changed to at or below 735 so it will be okay on the RT.

P.S., thanks for the font change-back for xmh!
