[ESS] split window, sizing control

[David Afshartous]

All,

I recently started using ESS via emacs 23.1.1 on a linux machine with 
KDE 4.4.2.  After starting emacs for a .Rnw file, I split the screen and 
start an R process in the lower half, then maximize the window; the two 
parts of the split are of equal size.  As I send code to the R process 
in the lower half of the window I notice two things:

1) the entire window size starts to change, with the bottom gradually 
moving upward during the session.
2) the split between the upper and lower half does not remain equal.

Is there any way to keep the entire window maximized with the two parts 
of equal size?

Thanks!
David
