Hmm... then it's not even vague according to Eli.  I'm afraid you have
to use the debugger to find out what goes wrong.  For starters I would
set a breakpoint at the beginning of x_figure_window_size (in frame.c)
and check whether any height setting gets applied.

If FVWM interferes we will find out soon enough.
