   I can not reproduce it here.

`src/emacs -q -nbc' and `src/emacs -q -nbc -nw' now succeed; the
problem was fixed in CVS sometime after 16:24 UTC on Monday, 17 March
2008 when I previously updated and it failed.

However, in the current CVS Emacs, the frame of `src/emacs -q -nbc'
becomes narrower, but not shorter, when I run `o' on a Dired buffer
with a .jpg image in it.  Emacs reports a width of 78 characters
rather than 80.

Also (as happened earlier, but then the failure stopped), the
*Messages* buffer reports that
    mouse-set-font: Font not found
when I try to set the frame to an "10x20" font.  

Even though
     ("10x20" "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-c-100-iso8859-1" "10x20")
is in the current   /usr/local/src/emacs/lisp/mouse.el
`S-down-mouse-1' (mouse-set-font) fails although the following succeed:

 rxvt -fn "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1" -cr black
 xterm -fn "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1" -ah
 xlsfonts -fn "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO8859-1"
