Which window manager do you use? Which toolkit? This is under MacOS/aqua: First frame: ((outer-position 0 . 23) (outer-size 675 . 874) (external-border-size 0 . 0) (title-bar-size 0 . 22) (menu-bar-external) (menu-bar-size 0 . 0) (tool-bar-external) (tool-bar-position . top) (tool-bar-size 0 . 0) (internal-border-width . 2)) "New" frame: ((outer-position 690 . 25) (outer-size 675 . 874) (external-border-size 0 . 0) (title-bar-size 0 . 22) (menu-bar-external) (menu-bar-size 0 . 0) (tool-bar-external) (tool-bar-position . top) (tool-bar-size 0 . 0) (internal-border-width . 2)) So it's two pixels different. Peculiar, eh? Perry -- Perry E. Metzger perry@piermont.com
