If you are using Apple's beta X11 server, you will also have access to 
the Quartz window manager, which you can call from your ~/.xinitrc file 
with:

quartz-wm &

This provides a handy "zoom" button, which pressing once causes the 
associated window to take up all of one (not both) screens.  Then, you 
can grab and drag the lower right corner of the window to make it any 
size you like.  This works for both rview and rholo.
