Xemacs-98 does not startup within physical window

I am starting Xemacs without any command line font or geometry
settings [...] on a Compaq Armada 7710MT portable configured to run at
800x600 [...] it uses more room than physically available: the lower
part, including status line and message buffer are not visible. I
have to downsize the window by lowering the upper limit, move the
resulting smaller window upwards by dragging it with the title bar.
This is a minor inconvenience but it should be avoided in the official
release, so I thougth I'd let you know.
Are you suggesting that Emacs should detect the size of the display
device and size its initial frame appropriately, or that it should
always come up at a size <= 800x600?
I see looking at the doc for 'default-frame-plist' that you can set
the sizes for frames other than the first one in your .emacs. However
setting the size of the first frame is trickier - since it has already
been created by the time .emacs is read. Does the "-geometry"
command-line flag work on NT? (I'm on my home Linux system and won't
have access to NT until tommorow).
