I am running Linux Mint 17.1 with Cinnamon. Every time I launch emacs24, either from a command line or from a launcher, it sizes itself to just less than the full size of the screen. --geometry has no effect; a setting in .Xresources has no effect. Shortly after starting, it generally hiccups and fiddles with the size again.
Is there any way to stop this? I just want about 1/2-of a screen of emacs.
I tried:
emacs24 --geometry 80x24
and, in .Xresources:
Emacs*geometry: 80x24
and I tried:
emacs -q --no-site-file
none of these changed the behavior.
I ran the precise command:
/usr/bin/emacs24 -q --no-site-file --geometry 80x24
and I still got an expanded Window. I suspect some sort of cinnamon auto-expansion, but I can't find any relevant setting.
The current version of cinnamon on Mint 17.1 is:
Cinnamon 2.4.8
--geometry
) and.Xresources
setting that didn't fail so we don't reinvent the wheel.-q --no-site-file
- if that works, then you have a setting in your personal or system initialisations. At which point, try just-u
, of course./usr/bin/emacs24 -q --no-site-file --geometry 80x24
? Please run that exact command.cinnamon --version
to check). Since I don't have it, you might want to try upgrading it.
