Can you change those settings on a per application basis?

Does the window manager constrain the frame size to the screen?  WOW, if
you specifiy an initial frame larger than your screen, do you get it
that way?

IIRC GTK Emacs supports scaling only partially.  Could you try with
another toolkit?  Also, ISTR that people complained about mispositioned
scroll bars, menus and tooltips, sometimes alos about misplaced
underlinings and the like.  Do you see any of those effects too?
