Xastir has to extend to the right in order to give you the extra
space on the status line for this new display.  Probably if you have
Xastir already at full-screen, that causes the window manager to
have to resize it smaller in order to show it all.

I don't usually run Xastir at full-screen as I want to get to my
pager module (so I can switch between my fifteen virtual screens).

I don't run KDE or Gnome because I actually like to use my CPU
cycles for useful purposes.  hi hi
