There might be some bug in Ubuntu -- or in your .emacs file! To try to 
find where this error comes from you can launch GNU Emacs with the -Q 
or the -q options, together with -g WxH. With -q Emacs does not load 
.emacs nor default.el, with -Q even the site-{start|init}.el files 
aren't loaded and no splash screen is shown. So there is a difference 
and you can get a glue where the error happens.

Modern Emacsen understand --fullheight/-fh, --fullscreen/-fs, 
--fullwidth/-fw. Are you sure you never use these switches, neither on 
the command line (in an alias, and you can check what has been passed 
to Emacs with ps) nor in .emacs nor as an X ressource (xrdb -query)? 
Some X ressources are unspecific so that many X clients can use it.
