bug#4330: GTK+ Emacs 23.1 on Solaris 10/11 ignores all X toolkit options

[Rainer Orth]

Unlike Emacs 22.1, Emacs 23.1 on Solaris 11/SPARC built with GTK+
support ignores all X toolkit options like -geometry (or alternative
forms like -g, --geometry), -fn, -xrm.  This is a serious regression,
which seems fixed in CVS Emacs (23.1.50).  Unfortunately, I cannot use
the latter due to several much more serious problems to be reported
separately, and I haven't been able to identify which particular
changeset fixed the issue.

In GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.10, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
 of 2009-08-31 on padouk
Windowing system distributor `Sun Microsystems, Inc.', version 11.0.6620

Thanks for the bug report, and sorry for the delay in replying.

Since the bug is fixed in 23.1.50, the fix is going to be in 23.2 too,
so I am going to close this bug.
