Welcome to the club, John.  Some standard questions:

- You're using GNOME desktop and the mutter window manager.  Right?  If
  so, what does mutter --version tell?  Can you try setting the
  environment variable MUTTER_DEBUG="geometry" and then look into stderr
  whether anything shows up there at all?  If so, we could try to
  investigate further.

- Is your screen scaled?

- What does evaluating (frame-geometry) tell for the first frame?  What
  do (frame-char-height) and (frame-char-width) evaluate too?

- Can you build with other toolkits?  GTK2, Lucid, Motif or with the
  --with-x-toolkit=no option?

- Can you build with the attached patch?  If so, please evaluate the
  form (frame--size-history) and post the contents of the the buffer
  *frame-size-history* here.

Thanks, martin
