[copied from bug 292452]

I thought for some time that the Esc[8;<rows>;<cols>t escape sequence no longer
did anything.   However, I find that, for example "Esc[8;40;24t" makes the
terminal work as though it is 40x24 (lines wrap at column 40) although the
window size doesn't change.

setImageSize(), called when the escape sequence is received, calls
resizeImage() and which does all the work necessary to make the size as
specified but doesn't do anything at all to set the window size.

Interestingly, perhaps, when a new tab is created, setImageSize() is also
called to set the image size for the new tab.  In this case, of course, you
wouldn't expect the window size to change.

In KDE 3.5 there was a global configuration option to allow programs to change
the window size and setting this allows Esc[8;<cols>;<rows>t to resize the
window and seems to be otherwise ignored (I haven't checked in detail to see
what happens, sorry).

Fixing this would also allow those people who want an easy way to set specific
geometries to be satisfied: the menu entry would simply call the same function
that the escape sequence calls.
