In using x5250, I still have issues with the window being Maximized.
Primarily, ghost characters being left over from the previous screen.
UnMaximizing resets the screen and it then looks normal. Unlike xt5250,
this happens every time I go from 80-132 or vice versa, not just the first
time.

Neither xt5250 not x5250 was designed to work well maximized. The reason for this is that 5250 screens are built with a set number of columns and rows and so don't work with arbitrary window sizes. In order to get the 5250 content to correctly fill a maximized window it would need to load a font whose metrics would perfectly match the maximized window. xt5250 doesn't do this because it works within xterm and xterm doesn't do it. I'm right now working on code that would give x5250 more flexibility with fonts and allow arbitrary window sizes. Of course I'm also buried in work for my company so I don't have a lot of free time. But I'm hoping to have code that will allow x5250 to compute a font to use based on an arbitrary screen size.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
