        I've experienced this, also, with the two window managers
Chris W. was using. Usually, there is more than one gnome-term 
window running when this happens, but I've seen it occur with a
single gnome-term as well. This has occured even when all other
programs I run reappear at the proper size. The usual fix is to
remove the gnome-term file in the ~/.gnome directory.

        BTW, the newest sawfish (0.30.3) appears to have the window
positioning/sizing issue back under control.
