Subject: bug#3643: emacs -Q doesn't fit on the user's screen
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:08:57 +0100

I've checked in a fix.
Note that the emacs frame can still end up outside the visible area, icewm 
doesn't take care of placing Emacs at +0+0 when that is what it takes to make 
Emacs fully visible.  Moving Emacs there should make Emacs fully visible.
The adjustment of size to the desktop may not work if a bigger font is set in 
elisp.
