In recent GTK builds of Emacs master I have issues with the frame with on GNU/Linux Mint 18.1 64bit. I had installed the sr-speedbar package from MELPA and configured Emacs so that it opens a frame with a window for text of about 80 characters and a sr-speedbar window of about 30 characters (see the init.el file in the attachment, 80+30 = 110). This worked fine (more or less) up to the builds I did on March 10 and 27 but not with the builds I did on April 14 an 16 (today). More precisely... Start Emacs-2017-03-10 [1] without desktop file. The result is in screen-no-desktop.png, and don't looks ok to me. Anyway, now visit a file. For example C-x C-f ~/report_bug.txt and quit Emacs saving the desktop. Restart Emacs. It looks as expected (screen-with-desktop-OK.png) window width 79 characters (from column 0 to 78) sr-speedbar width 27 characters Repeat with Emacs-2017-03-27 [2]. Same results. Now try with Emacs-2017-04-14 [3] or 2017-04-16 [4]. It doesn't look as expected (screen-with-desktop-NOT_OK.png) window width 68 characters (from column 0 to 67) sr-speedbar width 38 characters (Notice: 79+27 = 68+38 = 106). Whatever I try, the frame does not respect what is written in the init file. Notice this problem occurs only with the (GTK) builds on GNU/Linux. It works as expected with Windows and OSX builds.
