	machine is an Athlon64-X2 with 1G RAM
	GNOME is current at 2.20_2, gnome-terminal-2.18.3
	installed from ports.  I use the system default
	fixed-width font, which is "Monospace|12", although the
	problem persists if I select a different font.
	I'm using the default Metacity window manager.
	My screen is 1280x1024, if that matters...
>Description:
	I have "Maximize Window Vertically" mapped to
	alt-PageUp, and I strongly prefer that to "full screen"
	for terminal windows.  Recently, (perhaps only since the
	upgrade to 2.20 or so), maximize vertically has changed
	my terminal windows to be several lines too tall, so
	that the bottom several lines fall off the bottom of the
	screen.  Since that's where most of the action happens
	in a terminal, that's not good.  Regular "maximize" does
	not do this: the bottom line stays visible.

	Actually, I've just tried, and found that the same
	problem occurrs for xterm and epiphany and claws-mail,
	so I'd say that it's a universal Metacity problem, but I
	mostly only use that resize method on terminal windows.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Apply Maximize Window Vertically to a window.
>Fix:

	Don't know, sorry.  Work-around is to re-size by mouse
	dragging, which is a drag.
