Subject: 23.1; 23.1; Emacs does not respect Xresources
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:48:46 +0530

I have the following line in my .Xresources file:

emacs.geometry: 80x45

My .Xdefaults is a symlink pointing to .Xresources. 

When I start emacs without a -geometry argument, it comes up with a 80x43
window. The value of initial-frame-alist is

((menu-bar-lines . 1)
 (tool-bar-lines . 0)
 (vertical-scroll-bars))

The value of default-frame-alist is

((width . 80)
 (height . 45)
 (menu-bar-lines . 1)
 (tool-bar-lines . 0)
 (vertical-scroll-bars))

When I add the -geometry argument, the emacs window comes up with the
correct size.
