You mean the ones where you resized a frame with the mouse by 16 or 36
pixels with a character size of 17x37?

Do you mean that 80x36 according to GNOME is 80x36 according to our
internal measurements while 80x20 to GNOME is 76x20 according to our
internal measurements?

Didn't we always have that?  The present code simply tries to reduce
some noise when setting the font would otherwise cause a resize of a few
pixels.

Please try the next patch so at least the initial size becomes
reasonable again.
