Dear Mike,
this morning, I received an email related to my XEmacs problems, which
may also be of interest for you.
Greetings and best regards

Hello,
I suffer from a similar problem to the xemacs resizing problem you
experience. This problem occurs under Gnome for me, however, so it may be
unrelated to your problem, but from your description, I believe they are
at least related. For me, the resizing problem seems to be related to the
custom-set-faces directive in custom.el.
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:size "12pt" :family "Fixed"))) t))
If I comment it out, I get a window that starts at the correct dimensions
and remains so. With the directive in place, my window starts the correct
size and then shrinks. I am curious about whether or not the problem
persists for you if you comment out your custom-set-faces directive. Also,
for additional frames spawned using C-x 5 f, the resizing problem does not
occur for subsequent windows. I would like to know if you see this as well.
I would be interested to know if you observe the same behavior that I am
seeing. (My window changes in height as well as width, but I attribute
that to my selecting a font family with a different height than the
default, which I believe you are not doing.) Any information you could
provide me would be helpful. After much investigation, I don't see how
this could be a window manager problem, and I'm still trying to find an
explanation.
Thanks,
Matt Schnaider
