I don't usually have problems with the geometry specified by rows and columns, it would be nice if we could retain this behaviour from the patch. Even though X11 may have introduced a lot of bad stuff, this one makes sense and simplifies a lot of code and logic. If you are specifying geometry, yo

From: Yuri Karaban Hello, Currently st does not follow X geometry specification. Implementation is incomplete and partially broken: - There is calculation of offset parameters, but these parameters are never saved in window manager hints. Therefore setting offsets has no effect. - Instead
