I have already tried to debug this problem. My conclusion was that - under certain circumstances - xemacs totally freaks out during startup. It repeatedly asks for different sizes (which fvwm grants), finally loses track of its own size and comes up with a more or less random geometry. I have already reported this to the xemacs developers more than a year ago, but was ignored completely. Please try reporting this problem there again, perhaps they will finally do something about it. Recently, I noticed that it depends on the xemacs configuration. Without a $HOME/.emacs file, everything works fine. I suspect that this does not happen if you just use the default fonts (changing the font resizes the window).
