bug#708: erratic frame behaviour while selecting fonts

[Werner LEMBERG]

As already mentioned, I use `emacs -Q' for testing, so there is no
.emacs file involved.  Similarly (and I've mentioned this too), I
don't have an .Xresources file in my home directory.  I've just tested
to remove my /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Emacs file, but I get exactly
the same weird behaviour, this is, Emacs suggests a different font as
the default font each time I try to set it, and the frame size is
erratic as before.

Below is my /etc/X11/Xresources file.
