All I know is I have
$ grep bar- .emacs
(tool-bar-mode 0)
(menu-bar-mode 0)
mr> Do you have any other "fairly large window" say in the 750 pixels height

Never.
mr> do you have any Emacs related settings in some .Xresources?
$ grep -i emacs .Xresources
Emacs.bitmapIcon: off
http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/.Xresources
mr> These figures look good: The outer window is set off by -4 pixels so the

mr> seems to leave 768 - 748 - 8 that is 28 pixels for the taskbar (the
mr> lower external border is drawn below the taskbar, I presume).
All I know is I'm happy with what I finally use. I just feel bad for
first time users.
mr> So there isn't much Emacs itself can do about this. From you snapshot
mr> it isn't clear to me whether the xterm window is fully visible - IIUC it

mr> the xterm window is maximized - this would contradict your statement
mr> that a maximized window like the Emacs one is shown correctly.)
All I know is the line of boxes at the bottom of the screen (taskbar?)
is part of icewm itself. Yes, xterms are 1/2 a ASCII row too short, but
if they were 1/2 a row too long they would extend below the taskbar (if
that is what it is called.) So I am still happy with that. Anyway I am
very happy. It just took a long time to make it all that way.
Anyway, perhaps you could install icewm and run emacs inside it and see
if there is a problem with a vanilla set up. Thanks.
