It's not immediately clear that the problem happens only with attempts
to make a fullscreen frame which, to be clear again, could mean any of
maximized, fullheight, fullwidth and fullboth.
So when you try to increase the height of a normal frame by one pixel,
which is the resize operation you send? I suppose it's the last one
from x_set_window_size_1 so Emacs correctly passes the size hint with
frame_resize_pixelwise 1. Right?
If this is the case, then Emacs should, for you, also handle fullwidth
and fullheight requests correctly via the first and second of the
requests in x_set_window_size_1. Right?
So the two remaining cases Emacs can't handle for you are fullscreen and
maximized requests. Right?

I attach a patch that should handle the case where we want to switch
from a non-fullscreen to a fullscreen frame. Please try it.
FRAME_OUTER_WINDOW (f) should probably be replaced by some GTK-specific
window but I don't yet know which one.

I miss you here: Which "case" do you mean?

Correct me if I'm wrong: We run x_check_fullscreen only when the window
manager doesn't support fullscreen natively. WOW when we run
x_check_fullscreen, we emulate the behavior of a window manager by
calculating the respective sizes ourselves.
Now when Emacs sets the fullscreen frame parameter itself, this action
basically covers only what we get from the window manager. A user who
wanted a fullscreen frame would have set the according frame parameter
already. What am I missing?

OK. These can be done easily, maybe in combination with my patch.

OK. Funnily we call a function x_wm_set_size_hint to handle a scenario
where there's no window manager.
> - call store_frame_param from x_check_fullscreen
It might not harm but, as mentioned above, this should not be
necessary. Or, if it is necessary because the parameters are not in
place yet, the bug seems to be elsewhere,

Hmm.. so you insist. Can you tell me why `set-frame-font' can change a
fullscreen frame's size?

Let's look into the toolbar issue later. What we have to check first
is:
(1) You have a "correctly" maximized frame and `frame-resize-pixelwise'
is non-nil. What is the frame's fullscreen parameter's value?
(2) If that value is non-nil, how comes `set-frame-font' can change the
frame size?

We can't do that. I mentioned that only so you can check whether it
would work in principle.

OK.

It would modify the increments accordingly. That is
`set-frame-resize-pixelwise' with a non-nil ARG would set the increments
to 1 and with a nil ARG it would set them to the frame's column and line
heights.

You mean calling `set-frame-resize-pixelwise' in a fullscreen state on
KWin would produce the bug again. You're probably right. So this won't
help much.

Do I understand finally? x_net_wm_state resets the fullscreen state to
nil via its store_frame_param? That would be the missing link then.
But then there's no use to set the fullscreen parameter earlier.
x_net_wm_state would annihilate that anyway.
