That is annoying. I use --fullheight on the command line. This could be useful to you. At least on Windows it start up with the perfect height for me. However, when I open a new frame, the new frame is taller than its parent. I don't get why. All I wish was for the frame to keep the same dimensions as the frame from which I issued the command.
