Well, it's not my library, but the reason it fails (in my setup, where I have
line-spacing set to 2), is that it tries to set the height of the minibuffer
using 'set-window-text-height' -- which, in my setup, sets the height
incorrectly (the bottom of the minibuffer is obscured). I note that
'set-window-text-height' uses 'window-text-height'
If there's a setter equivalent of 'window-screen-lines' (which there doesn't
seem to be), then I can raise that with the maintainer. Otherwise, is there a
way to set window height in pixels (which can be easily worked out from the
number of lines of text)? If not, then there's no way (that I can see) to
accomplish the intended function of 'set-window-text-height' in gui Emacs.
