Here's the output immediately after executing emacs -Q:

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                user specified size: 674 by 676
                program specified minimum size: 34 by 66
                program specified resize increment: 8 by 17
                program specified base size: 34 by 66
                window gravity: NorthWest

And here's the output immediately after evaluating
(make-frame '((left . 0) (top . 0))) in the new frame:

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                user specified size: 658 by 650
                program specified minimum size: 34 by 66
                program specified resize increment: 8 by 17
                program specified base size: 34 by 66
                window gravity: NorthWest
