another option: maximize the window, and restore (pressing alt-F10 twice, in default icewm settings).

I guess my previous post was a little bit cryptic :)
You don't have to type that command each time readline goes out of sync with the window size. If you turn the 'checkwinsize' option on, bash will chech the window size after each command. Put the 'shopt -s ...' in your rc file and the problem is gone forever...
