Do the flashes occur only when you load init.el or also when using the
--iconic --geometry 80x78+1180+0 switches only?

>> emacs -Q --iconic --geometry 80x78+1180+0 --font 
"-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-15-*-100-100-*-*-ISO8859-1"

Do you mean that both sizes are off by one - 80/79 and 78/77 ?  What do

M-: (frame-width) RET

and

M-: (frame-height)

in such a frame give?  Did you remove/comment out the resource settings?
IIRC Emacs combines everything it finds and applies the last settings it
read.

So apart from the flashes these would be OK?

"still" in the sense that you get the same bad width?  Does removing the
font setting change _anything_ in the appearance of the frame?

Thanks, martin
