who actually controls the window size of my gvim?

Hi, Vimmers,

Just found an interesting problem but don't why.

I am using Debian on my Linux box and used the vim-gtk package before.
I have the settings like:
=========================
if has("gui_running")
       set guifont=BitStream\ Vera\ Sans\ Mono\ 11
       set guioptions=mei      " only display Menu, Tab, and Icon
       colorscheme oceandeep
       set lines=60 columns=89
       "set cursorline         " Highlight Current Line in GUI mode
endif
==========================

I set the lines and columns to make it start with a gvim window to
cover half part of my screen (lines=60 and columns=89). This settings
worked fine no matter when I run the "gvim" from the XFCE launch menu
or from a command "$gvim".

Recently, I replaced the "vim-gtk" package with "vim-full",  if I
launched it from the XFCE menu, it works like before (give me a 60x89
gvim window). But, if I run "gvim" from my bash prompt, I can get a
window with random-sized gvim window.

I am sure the gvim shortcut in the XFCE launch menu is also pointing
to the "gvim" I ran on the my rxvt.

So, in this case, I am just wondering who actually controls the lines,
cols of my gvim window? Any difference btw vim-full and vim-gtk makes
it happened?

Thanks,
