All I know is firefox etc. never was bigger than xwindows.

Well if it can detect that it can't fit then maybe it can detect how big
it should be.
OK, I did xwininfo -all in Firefox, just for comparison. It fits
perfectly. Of course this is not a vanilla install of firefox, all I
know is the vertical dimensions of emacs should be no bigger, as this
fits perfectly.
