Sure does.  I just tried both v23 and v22.

Do emacs -Q

in *scratch* buffer enter

(modify-frame-parameters nil '( (fullscreen . fullheight) ))

then with the cursor right after the )) type  C-x C-e

that should give you a tall frame (window in X parlence).

They try the same with

(modify-frame-parameters nil '( (width . 170) ))

and you should get a wide frame.
