Description Christian Persch 2008-10-09 12:01:43 UTC 
The resize-window signal is emitted to set the vte widget to the specified size. It occurs in 2 contexts, one setting pixel size and one setting grid size. The pixel size is used as-is, the grid size is multiplied with char width/height and added xpad/ypad.
In gnome-terminal, we just have to take the pixel size and reconstruct the grid size from it, inverting the operation above.

I think the resize-window signal should carry grid sizes instead.

Also, why does not vte just set the grid size directly itself and just queues a resize?
