No (I used customize-variable to set tool-bar-lines to 0 instead of the 1 that
was already there). The behaviour was still incorrect (although the window
sizes I got were not "typical" ones (I got 112x47 and 112x58, whereas before
112x55 was much more common).
I noticed that emacs still ended up with a toolbar, so I set tool-bar-lines to 0
in initial-frame-alist too, which made the toolbar go away, but had no effect
on the erratic sizing either.
