G'day Martin,

I have to admit that I am getting out of my depth here.  I have written lots of emacs lisp programs, but not using many of the features that you talk about.  Hence I may get confused at times (:-(

Unfortunately, no.  Still same small window, and 4 GTK warnings

No.

Not at the top level of $HOME.  There are backups in a directory $HOME/Archives, and in my Pictures and Videos directories.  But they are only minor variations on the $HOME/.emacs, and when I delete them, the behaviour remains.

I think it was
((outer-position 1214 . 79) (outer-size 220 . 300) (external-border-size 14 . 17) (outer-border-width . 0) (title-bar-size 0 . 32) (menu-bar-external . t) (menu-bar-size 192 . 25) (tab-bar-size 0 . 0) (tool-bar-external . t) (tool-bar-position . top) (tool-bar-size 192 . 41) (internal-border-width . 0))
but I had to resize the window to read it!

I presume I should make another frame after running 'emacs -Q'?  In any case, it made another frame the same small size.

No, those values just do not appear.

Yes, if I explicitly load my .emacs and eval-buffer that!
