I do not recall seeing such a patch.
Could you remind me which one that is?
I don't see anything on SourceForge that seems to match your description.

I would be glad to look at such a patch.
As I said, I don't recall seeing anything like that.
So you extended the TERM_TABLE entries for all terminal types to hold
canvas size values?  That sounds like a lot more work than attempting
to maintain the canvas size in the core code, but you may be right 
that in the long run it is the only approach that can succeed.
Too bad it means revisiting every single terminal driver.
