Thanks for the work.

So an iconic frame has the same number of text columns/lines as a
normal one.

And the frame with the geometry specified in your .emacs has 135 text
columns and 34 text lines as requeste via (I presume)

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 135))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 34))

This looks correct as well (no off by one issue here AFAICT).  I have to
admit that this was the major issue that bothered me.

This is the expected mess.  The strange values are obviously due to the
fact that the default character size changed from 9 x 22 to 11 x 29
while the frame's outer size did not change along with that.  Emacs is
talking characters and the window manager is talking pixels.

I will look into this but I can't promise to find a solution soon.

For the new frame I presume, everything as expected.

Thanks again for sending me all this information, martin
