So when everything kinda works:

(965
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> adjust-frame-size-1
	  (1120 1080 1120 1080)
	  (set-window-configuration 1))
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> adjust-frame-size-3
	  (1820 1680 1120 1080)
	  (1849 1680 1149 1080))
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> adjust-frame-size-1
	  (1820 1680 1120 1080)
	  (change-frame-size 5))
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> xg-frame-resized
	  (1820 1680 1120 1080)
	  nil)
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> adjust-frame-size-3
	  (1120 1080 1820 1680)
	  (1149 1080 1849 1680))

So we start small, go big, then go small again, but the end result,
even though it looks correct, is actually wrong:

(frame-parameter nil 'height)
36
(frame-parameter nil 'width)
80

Although I asked for:

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 130))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 56))

in the .el Iʼm loading.

When it doesnʼt work:

(967
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> adjust-frame-size-1
	  (1820 1680 1820 1680)
	  (set-window-configuration 1))
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> adjust-frame-size-3
	  (1120 1080 1820 1680)
	  (1149 1080 1849 1680))
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> adjust-frame-size-1
	  (1120 1080 1820 1680)
	  (change-frame-size 5))
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> xg-frame-resized
	  (1120 1080 1120 1080)
	  nil)
 (#<frame emacs@rpluim-ubuntu 0x133fd20> xg-frame-set-char-size-3
	  (1120 1080 1120 1080)
	  (1149 1183))

we start big, go small, and stay small. The frame is actually the same
size as previous, but emacs' state is messed up:

(frame-parameter nil 'height)
56
(frame-parameter nil 'width)
130

Iʼve attached both full traces.
