But the only thing I tell emacs with regard to its frame size is a size
in columns/characters, i.e.: integral values.

So when emacs decides to give me a half-line, this is a deviation from
my request, and I would consider that a bug.

I'm happy with 6x10, and as far as frame-size goes, what else can I do
than give it another (integral!) columns/rows param?

If you mean I have to trial-and-error through frame pixels sizes (is
this possible -- I'll have a look?), I find that a regression.

I'm sure I must be wrong on both the bug and the regression.

Thanks for your comment, Eli.
