bug#73244: Emacs29.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.41

[John Hurst]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post a bug, but I tried the M-x report-emacs-bug, and it just said "Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, emacs-19"??

The bug I have, since upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 and install emacs29 is that the initial frame has width x height of 20 x 9, even though I have a .Xresources file containing
   Emacs*geometry: 100x40+1900+0
end a default-frame-alist of
  Value:
  ((font . "Monospace-10")
   (height . 42)
   (width . 90)
   (tool-bar-lines . 0)
   (menu-bar-lines . 1)
   (top . 0)
   (left . 1200))
  Original value was nil
set up by my .emacs file.

Using either the pull-down File->New Frame, or C-x 5 2, both generate new frames of the 20 x 9 size.

I can send the .emacs file if needed, but note that "emacs -D' also gives the same default size of 20 x 9, so I don't think it is a problem with my .emacs file - which did work OK under Ubuntu 22.04 and emacs28.

Any insights gratefully received.

Sorry, forgot to add, in case it is relevant, that when run from the command line, emacs gives many messages of the form:
  (emacs:1556302): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 12:40:47.974: gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed

This means nothing to me, but presumably is important?

For some reason, debbugs created a new bug from this, so I'm now
merging them.

Probably some of your customizations point to such a file or
directory.  Please take a good look at your init files.

From what I've heard, the culprit is rather the upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04
than to Emacs 29, and the problem will disappear if Emacs is configured
with another toolkit than GTK.

Does it mean that GTK which comes with Ubuntu 24.04 is unusable with
Emacs?  What exactly in GTK causes this?

Sorry for the belated response.  We don't know yet, and it's not an
issue with GTK, but with some past update to the window manager.

How should we proceed with this bug, then?

Do you need any more input from me?

I have noticed a few other reports of similar bugs, so I would be surprised if it was only me.

No, I think the right person to contact is Martin, who devoted many
weeks to investigating the matter on emacs-devel.

Martin, any suggestions or ideas?

Welcome to the club, John.  Some standard questions:

- You're using GNOME desktop and the mutter window manager.  Right?  If
   so, what does mutter --version tell?  Can you try setting the
   environment variable MUTTER_DEBUG="geometry" and then look into stderr
   whether anything shows up there at all?  If so, we could try to
   investigate further.

- Is your screen scaled?

- What does evaluating (frame-geometry) tell for the first frame?  What
   do (frame-char-height) and (frame-char-width) evaluate too?

- Can you build with other toolkits?  GTK2, Lucid, Motif or with the
   --with-x-toolkit=no option?

- Can you build with the attached patch?  If so, please evaluate the
   form (frame--size-history) and post the contents of the the buffer
   *frame-size-history* here.

Thanks, martin
