I can't say - what does evaluating (frame-height) give - if you can read
it?

You mean the first picture was from a first invocation of Emacs and the
second picture from a second? Funny. Anyway - it's the menu bar.
I forgot for the umpteenth time where these GTK errors come from. So
anybody who reads this please remember with me:
Whenever you see in your Emacs session something like
Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_distribute_natural_allocation:
assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed
then most likely your GTK menubar has become too large for the
(implicitly) specified frame width and GTK will deliberately widen
your frame to make the menubar fit.
I haven't yet found out how to truncate menubars with GTK.
This behavior reaches its highest level of annoyance when switching
buffers in a window, a few menu bar items get added and the frame gets
wider ... I have to mention this in the Emacs 25.2 manual.

I have no idea. Does the menu bar fit there?
