Subject: 23.2; Start option geometry is ignored
Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:39:08 +0200

When emacs is started via command line
emacs -g 81x60
or
emacs -geometry 81x60
the number of characters fitting in a line is 81, but the number of
lines is 33 (ignoring the title, the menu, the bottom line of the buffer
and the minibuffer) independant of the number specified in -g mxn.

I cannot reproduce this. Does it happen with `emacs -Q -geometry...'?
Do you have any X resources, or "desktop environment settings" (whatever
those might be...) that could be relevant?
Can you try Emacs 23.3?
