Hi Arjen:

I also see that bad default geometry (just a few pixels in width) on
Linux for the wish case.  (The default plserver geometry is fine.)

To work around the issue of a bad default wish geometry I used the
wish -geometry option, see line 986 of examples/CMakeLists.txt.  But
obviously that solution is a superficial one that only works for the
case of the test_wish_standard_examples target and not when you run
the demos by hand so I look forward to seeing your commit with a more
fundamental solution that provides a reasonable default geometry for
wish in all cases.
