Just as an aside, I don't know if this is still the behavior (whether
remedied in later versions of Vim or in how post-XP Windows handles
it), but as of last time I checked, if you set 'lines' to something
larger than will fit on the screen, gvim/XP will truncate that to a
number of lines that do fit. This doesn't happen for me on
Debian+X+Fluxbox, so I'm not sure which piece is causing the problem
for me on XP.

But on XP, I do use 'lines', 'columns' and ":winpos" in my gvimrc to
position my gvim window roughly where I want it (even if I'd prefer
to squeeze out the extra line that I can get by manually
repositioning the window)
