I've been using this in my .emacs file for years to set up the initial window size:

   (setq default-frame-alist '((width . 110) (height . fullheight) ))

I think it's due to a recent OS update (Ubuntu to 17.04 and XFCE4), but now the window is 1 line too tall and the bottom buffer is cut off. Suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Yeah, that sounds like a windows manager and/or
X thing. From your description tho, it doesn't
sound like the *size* is incorrect, rather the
*position* of the window - am I right?

However, if you are running the GUI Emacs, what
about just invoking it with the --fullscreen
option? I.e.,

    $ emacs --fullscreen

?

Try replacing the emacs package with emacs24-lucid or emacs25-lucid.
That should honor your config.

This may also help

(setq frame-resize-pixelwise 't)

Okay, just tried that. No difference found (well, worse actually since it is missing the bottom 2 lines now instead of 1). I also tried adding the
   
  (setq frame-resize-pixelwise 't) 

into my .emacs. Again, no difference.

It might be an issue with xfce4. I logged into cinnamon and mate sessions and it seems to be fine there.

Any other suggestions?

Again, why are the command-line
switches unsatisfactory?

    $ emacs --fullscreen
    $ emacs -mm
    $ emacs -geometry 80x24

Or, in ~/.Xresources (with

    xrdb ~/.Xresources

in ~/.xinitrc),

    Emacs*geometry: 80x24

?
