Yes.

And you do not see a behavior where the new frame is very small

Sorry, I had forgotten about the instantaneous resizing. So yes, with the
patched Emacs, I get this resizing, if my eyes don't deceive me (it is very
fast).

And indeed, when I turn off menu bars, the second frame still opens small,
even with the patch.

If the answer to all these is yes, then what was the patch?  Just that

I am referring to your gtkutil-frame-2.diff of October 6th.

So anyway, what I'm really trying to understand is just in simple terms
what tests you'd like me to run next.
