Hi Everyone,
I'm currently using emacs 23.2 on debian sid.
I like starting emacs maximized using a trick from fvwm
( http://fvwmwiki.xteddy.org/cookbook/#index3h2 )
This feature works fine with emacs 23.1 .
However, since I've upgraded from emacs 23.1 to 23.2, it doesn't work
anymore : emacs doesn't start maximized.
In fact, I'm launching emacs daemon at startup with the command "emacs --daemon"
Then, I'm using "emacsclient -c"
The first time, I'm using emacsclient, the window is launched but not maximized.
The second time, everything works fine : the second window is maximized.
It seems that the first time, the window size is reset. Is this some
kind of side effect
from a change from 23.1 to 23.2 ?
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks,
Jean FELDER

If it's really a "trick" then maybe it shouldn't work? I don't know,
since I don't use fvwm.

What happens if you don't use --daemon and emacsclient? I've found
several things* that work using emacs "normally" but not when using
emacsclient :( I get the impression (and it really is just that) that
less testing is done with emacsclient than with the main emacs program.
* For example only today I had the situation that emacsclient would
always say "Entering debugger"´(and then hung) when I started it, even
though /usr/bin/emacs worked just fine, without complaint. Eventually,
clearing my .desktop fixed it. Just an example.

Emacs itself sets its frame size, from the default-frame-alist.
And you may have a set-frame-size form in your ~/.emacs file.
Actually, my solution is to use ratpoison (or a similar window
manager). Then I don't have to bother with window sizes anymore.
