Could you, in that frame, please evaluate the following three forms:

(display-monitor-attributes-list)

(frame-geometry)

(frame-parameters)

and post the results here?

Hardly.  Without any customizations, the first frame you see has 36
lines and 80 columns.  Emacs does not query the size of the workspace
and leaves it to the window manager to make the entire frame visible.

The only frame-related setting I found there is that you maximize the
default frame.  Am I missing anything else?

Thanks, martin
