I have now got an .Xresources file and have neatly got rid of my menu, 
tool and scrollbars. However in KDE, my emacs icon is set to launch 
emacs with this:

kstart --maximize emacs %f

and somehow it is not maximizing it properly. There is a 1 cm gap 
between the bottom of emacs and my KDE menu.

I just checked over my .emacs file and unless I've gone blind, there's 
nothing in there affecting it.

Thanks
Adam
