I just updated a system from hipster-20180701 to hipster-20200802 . I
assume it changed from gnome to mate in the update. Almost everything
worked afterwards. I was quite impressed.
One thing that fails to work now is the window size for emacs. Emacs
is the only text editor that I use. The size now is 63 x 31. I know
I can resize it by pulling on the window frame with my mouse, but I'd
like it to start out at 80 x 36. This used to happen with gnome when
I added these lines to my .emacs file:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(height . 36))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(width . 80))
I've tried many things. I tried the command-line option -geometry,
setting geometry in my .Xdefaults, and adding this line to my .emacs
file:
(when window-system (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 80 36))
All of these attempts have failed. I conclude that the mate window
manager is constraining the window size. Is there some way I can tell
the window manager to set the default size the way I want it?
