If I specify `emacs -geometry 100x100' then I will get A> the width and height as I would expect it (100x100 characters). I bet it is us users with (tool-bar-mode 0) in .emacs that feel the silliest about this calculation. Can please 1. --geometry be evaluated _after_ the tool-bar-mode, or 2. prominent words be added to the emacs man page -geometry section warning that if one dabbles with tool-bar-mode 0, one must rethink his -geometry wishes. Also add this to emacs --help output. By the way, on the man page don't you want to write --geometry etc. instead of -geometry, at least judging from the emphasis "--" is given on the --help output. Yes, both work (do mention that) but we want to promote "--". Also note --geometry vs tool-bar-mode in the tool-bar-mode docstrings. Anyways, all I know is the size reported by alt f8 in icewm ... OK, so I've got it all upside down, whatever. All I wanted to do was have a "fullsize" emacs created from my .xsession file. Why may I ask does $ emacs #from the shell give me one whilst emacs & in .xsession give me one that is 3 lines shorter. Yes my xrdb line comes first. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
