Here are four (4) X11 configuration options (built on an OSX box) and corresponding frame-height values.

None of the four (4) options tested display the Emacs logo splash image.


Emacs 25:  --with-x [no toolkit configuration] = the default is `gtk3`
  (frame-height) = 36

Emacs 25:  --with-x --with-x-toolkit=athena
  (frame-height) = 35

Emacs 25:  --with-x --with-x-toolkit=motif
  (frame-height) = 35

Emacs 25:  --with-x --with-x-toolkit=no
  (frame-height) = 36
