The "absurdly narrow" problem is gone. But if I start emacs with -iconic, the window *height* is now off (it's slightly too tall, by 1-2 lines, so that it goes off the screen since I use a full-height window). Without -iconic it is correctly sized for my screen. FWIW I use the sawfish window manager (because it's programmable via lisp...perhaps there are other emacs users who like lisp? *grin*). > Geoff Kuenning writes: > >> In 24.3.1, starting emacs with the "-iconic" switch causes the >> main >> emacs window to be sized to the width of the icon rather than >> the width >> specified in the X resource database.
