Setting 'frame-size-history' to '(100), doing C-x 5 2 and evaluating
'frame--size-history' should be enough.  The frame.c change is needed
only for the initial frame because at that time no Lisp was evaluated.

The result is not yet what I hoped for.  We reject two ConfigureNotify
events but the ensuing xg_frame_set_char_size calls do not get us a
ConfigureNotify we'd accept.  IIUC the final height may be off by two
pixels.  What does (frame-text-height) return for the first and the
second frame?  Also I hope you didn't get the GTK assertion failure.
And how does removing the menubar behave?

Now something completely different.  A couple of years ago I noticed
that our size hints calculations are fundamentally wrong.  I tried to
fix them and I attach some parts of that fix together with the previous
changes I proposed.  Attached as size_hints.diff.  If the patch does not
apply, complain.  I edited it by hand to exclude other changes I made
and I might have made mistakes.  Again I'm interested in the history of
the second frame.
