Can Emacs specify a non-default window size when it is started as a GUI application? Then we could arrange at least for the GUI session not to use such a large window (since it's actually unused/hidden in that case). I agree that in the -nw invocation, this is not a bug, since the user actually asked for all windows to have these dimensions. Btw, Eric, I hope you know that, by clicking Properties instead of Defaults, you can modify the dimensions of any specific window without affecting the others. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
