Given the popularity (among a certain kind of users) of tiling window managers and the popularity (among a much larger kind of users) of using fullscreen apps, I don't think Emacs can expect to fully control the size of its frame. But indeed I see what you mean, ideally emacs -Q should give a frame of the same size everywhere. So it could perhaps make sense to try to do something like: (set-frame-width nil 80) (set-frame-height nil 40) (which works for me) at the end of the initialization process with "-q" or "-Q".
