Does this always involves an image, or does it happen when you view ordinary
text mail in Gnus also?

Cool, we have shrinkage in both dimensions now :-).

That is wm size hints that aren't updated properly. The bug is why the frame
shrinks when viewing an image. I can reproduce it, so a fix should be done
