That sounds too good to be true.  Let's try to take a step back.  With a
pristine, unpatched emacs -Q, when you do C-x 5 2, the new frame opens
much smaller than the initial frame.  With a patched emacs -Q, when you
do C-x 5 2, the new frame window opens just as large as the initial
frame.  Is that description correct?

Yes.

And you do not see a behavior where the new frame is very small
initially and only then resizes to the final appearance?  And if you
turn off the menu bars, the new frame opens as large as the initial
frame minus the height of the menu bar?

Sorry, I had forgotten about the instantaneous resizing. So yes, with the patched Emacs, I get this resizing, if my eyes don't deceive me (it is very fast).

And indeed, when I turn off menu bars, the second frame still opens small, even with the patch.

If the answer to all these is yes, then what was the patch?  Just that
recent one where I set the natural sizes in emacsgtkfixed.c to 800x600?
Or do you have applied some patch I sent earlier?

I am referring to your gtkutil-frame-2.diff of October 6th.

 

So anyway, what I'm really trying to understand is just in simple terms what tests you'd like me to run next.
