Yes, that is how I did it---either by manually resizing or using the
maximise button. I just noticed that you can make it *slightly* by
resizing which seems to solve it. (On my screen maximise makes the window
1266x985, whereas the largest I can resize manually is 1268x987.)

So the problem occurs with
  netscape -geometry 1267x986+0+0&
but not with
  netscape -geometry 1268x987+0+0&

(This is on a 1280x1024 screen with BorderWideth 7.)

I don't now know whether this is a problem or not. I think it could
either be solved by adjusting the size fvwm uses for maximise, or the
position the window is placed in (as in the patch mentioned above).

Thanks,
Ben.
