The X manpage will give > details. This won't affect the OS X/Aqua version of Emacs, as Aqua does not read any of the X11 config files. The Carbon version of Emacs does open with part of the window off the bottom of the screen on my computer, and always has. Other Carbon and Cocoa apps have the same problem. ISTR that there is an algorythm to make the app aware of the display size, but many programmers do not use it. Changing the resolution of the display to a higher resolution is the only user-end fix for this AFAIK. Unfortunately my middle aged eyes don't like this. As as aside, whoever used '=' as a quote string, Emacs can't format this correctly with the M-q command. Please use a standard quote string so that people don't have to fix your posts by hand to respond to them.
