Turns out this is not the case - emacs started up in a 168x61 frame
this morning, with
adobe-courier set as font. So it just seems to show up much less often.
Given that I'm on a system that I can't update (all new packages
require kernel 2.6,
which doesn't support the system's RAID controller), could it be that
an outdated
gtk and/or X is causing the problem?
