I enclosed a screen shot earlier in this bug.
$ xdpyinfo|grep dimensions
  dimensions:    1024x768 pixels (302x232 millimeters)
As far as what fonts emacs -Q uses, I did C-u C-x = on the first word in
the *scratch* buffer and found:
    xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x37)

It starts up 80+40, says ALT+F8 here in icewm.
But only 80+38 will fit.
