I can reproduce this with current Debian Gnome 3, while in XFCE, Emacs
does shift to full screen.

Does this line have any impact at all or is it ignored completely? What
happens when you write
(set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen 'maximized)
instead? Does anything change when you add
(setq frame-resize-pixelwise t)
to your .emacs?

Appears to be ignored.

Doesn't appear to have an effect either.

Not that I see (tested with fullboth and maximized).

I see the issue with 24.3 under Gnome on current Debian testing, but the
current pretest, 24.3.94, works fine with either form, with no need for
any other settings. So it seems to be a solved problem.
bug marked as fixed in version 24.4, send any further explanations to
18675 <at> debbugs.gnu.org and Rob Browning <rlb <at> defaultvalue.org>

OK, thanks -- I've marked it fixed-upstream in the Debian tracker.

I think it is ignored completely. Emacs starts in a window attached to
the right side of the screen occupying the full screen height and a bit
less than half of the screen width, which I believe is the default.

These lines have no effect.

Hello.
I don't have Debiaon testing, but with Debian unstable and XFCE4, the Debian
emacs package, the emacs 24.4 RC and emacs trunk all work with -fs and
(set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen 'fullboth).
