I remote desktop'd into my XP machine using a smaller display size than the monitor connected locally. When I went back in front of the machine I found that the X server window had shrunk to roughly the size of the remote desktop screen, but had not grown back again when I logged in locally.
The maximize button on the window is greyed out and I can't resize the window using its borders, so there seems to be no way to restore the original size. The log (shown below) indicates that the X server did notice the change of screen size, but for whatever reason didn't resize its window. I think it is a bug that the window didn't get restored to its original size, but I'd also like to request some kind of manual resizing option (perhaps ungreying the maximize button) so the server can be fixed if the problem happens again.
