When you say to the window manager to put Eamcs in fullscreen, the height will be 1024 pixels (if that is what you have). And there will be a remainder that is not zero. What do you purpose Emacs does with this extra space? Even if we don't have any restrictions, we can't display a line in this leftover space. AFAIK, the restriction to be removed is more about scroll bar width, tool bar and menu bar heights and so on has to be a multiple of the character width/height. Jan D.
