My guess is that the Xen console emulates a physical (serial) console,
which is of fixed size (typically 80x24?).  So unless your terminal
emulator is the same dimensions you'll probably experience that
behavior.

Seriously, why don't you ssh into the domU and to get a virtual console,
which is re-sizable?
