OpenWindows shelltool full size...

Hi,

I would like to change the size of the shelltool window when the full size is selected, by clicking on the top of the window.

The issue is... I have a monitor that cannot do 1152x900 resolution format. The monitor can only do 1152x870. Also the frame buffer cannot do any other resolution.

So when the full size is selected on a shelltool window the bottom part of the window is off the screen.

Obiviously, the system know the screen resolution and sets the full size window to that height.

So where does the system get this value?
Can it be changed?
Or can the shelltool window be opened with the full size at a customised value?

The system is a SparcStation 20 with SunOS 5.6

Thanks,
Cheers,
Sean.
