But then I did
$ xrdb -remove
and retried emacs, the problem still persists. I use Emacs 22 for my
daily tasks with no problems on the same system, btw.
Also I think that the big margin is just a symptom and not the cause. As
I mentioned in my previous mails, Emacs won't allow me to
'split-window-horizontally' because 'window-width' thinks my window is
only 11 columns wide, while in fact my window is much wider than 11. And
when I try to adjust the Emacs frame width using the mouse, I can only
do so in very big increments. It appears that the bigger-than-normal
margin's width is what Emacs thinks is the width of one "column".
Any suggestions on how I should proceed from here? Thanks.
Regards,
Bo
