Possibly, though it would take a little building. If you were to launch R directly when you start the xterm (loosely xterm R rather than the default) then R would receive a SIGWINCH signal whenever the xterm window size changes (xterm automatically sends this to its child process). R doesn't directly enable handling of the signal, but there's nothing to stop you loading a dynamic library with a little C code that set up a handler for SIGWINCH and, when it got one, ran the equivalent of the stty command to get the new width. The thing I've not been able to figure out is how the C code would ever then hand that to R asynchronously. Anyone?
