Not a newsreader or editor problem as such, then; does F11 make other
windows fall off the bottom of the visible area? If so that suggests a
problem with Gnome, or a mismatch between the actual hardware dimensions
and the settings in your video driver or X. If only Gnome-terminal
windows are affected, it's a 'feature' of Gnome-terminal.


It's a gnome/gtk complaint I see often.
(Perhaps) unfortunately there is no "perfect" DE yet for X11 at this time.
Not that I care much, days go by without my opening any GUI apps
except opera -- ion3 with xfce4-terminal and Esetroot plus a
graphical browser gives me all the eyecandy I want and all the control
I need. But it's a common excuse for people to stick with windows.

The benefit of using slrn in a terminal emulator is that you can use a
graphical browser to follow up web links; if you're in a TTY session
you're stuck with text-only web browsers etc (which is fine if you don't
want the clutter of 'graphics' in web pages, of course - I'm a fan of
Lynx).


You can always Fn between ttys and X11.

Anyway, welcome to the slrn mafia; have fun :))


Ditto.
