When I run grep for the very first time, the compilation window enlarges
regardless of my config settings.  If I then  run ecb-redraw-layout,
subsequent calls to grep do not enlarge the buffer.  It seems it's only
a problem if the *grep* buffer does not exist.  It's only a minor
annoyance.

Right.  I bound that thing within 5 minutes of trying ECB!  :-)

Still, it feels hacky to have to use it.  There ought to be a way to
control the heights of those xemacs message windows!
