I noticed this with other programs. I don't know how it's possible to fix 
it, but maybe it's just the window manager's fault (I'm using KDE).

Pyvon is the first (and i thing i use many) where it happened to me. and i 
am using KDE, too. as i looked into the sourcecode of Pyvon i was a little 
bit confused about Python script; otherwise i would search for a soulution 
on my own (right engl.?).

I do not know about Pyvon (sorry, Fabien, I am content with emacs).
I did encounter the phenomenon (I won't call it a problem) with, e.g.,
emacs. I think the cause is that if emacs uses a font of width, say 16,
the window frame is 5 pixels and the resolution is 1280, then emacs will
have a textwidth of (1280-2*5)/16=79.375 characters. As fractional
characters do not make sense, a maximized emacs uses a textwidth
of 79, resulting in a window width of 16*79+2*5=1274 pixels.
Hence there are 6 ,,missing'' pixels.
It's not an error, it's the best compromise.

As Mark said, I also guess it has something to do with the font sizes.
Try to select another one. Just to see.

I can only guess that because I don't have that problem on my computer. Neither
at home or at work.

I know that I definitely have to clean up the code !

Gnome 2 is released !
After KDE 3.0, the desktop windows manager are very active at the moment.

I'll have a look to know what the new features.

Well, its interesting since it seems to take the stance away from KDE's
"many obvious features and configurations" into a cleaner and simpler
intereface, I won't get you on the which-is-better debate, and I dont
think that it will replace my favourite BlackBox in the long run either
(not the flux/black-box debate either, sorry ;)

Technologywise Gnome 2 is quite interesting, with a lot of nice work
going into i18n and a11y. To package and ship it has been quite an
experience, and surprisingly easy for such a large and complex system. 

Well, Im still waiting for more applications, hopefully they'll come
"soon", and I'm really looking forwards to something like Kpovmodeller
in Gnome2 .... http://www.kpovmodeler.org/screenshots.html
