Sorry if this is the wrong place to post a bug, but I tried the M-x report-emacs-bug, and it just said "Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, emacs-19"??

The bug I have, since upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04 and install emacs29 is that the initial frame has width x height of 20 x 9, even though I have a .Xresources file containing
   Emacs*geometry: 100x40+1900+0
end a default-frame-alist of
  Value:
  ((font . "Monospace-10")
   (height . 42)
   (width . 90)
   (tool-bar-lines . 0)
   (menu-bar-lines . 1)
   (top . 0)
   (left . 1200))
  Original value was nil
set up by my .emacs file.

Using either the pull-down File->New Frame, or C-x 5 2, both generate new frames of the 20 x 9 size.

I can send the .emacs file if needed, but note that "emacs -D' also gives the same default size of 20 x 9, so I don't think it is a problem with my .emacs file - which did work OK under Ubuntu 22.04 and emacs28.

Any insights gratefully received.

cheers,
