I've just started using 4.0.1.3, haven't seen resizing problems yet.

Is that new - I thought I had tried earlier versions with a size
specified but it only worked for new session.  It does resize now.

This isn't exactly what I want - I want the width a bit less so I can
access other things on the screen.   But, since the client settings
are set on each machine I can just set the size I want in both
dimensions.
