bug#18215: 24.4.50; OSX 10.6.8; set-frame-size by pixelwise does not work following `make-fame`.

[Keith David Bershatsky]

As to a version of Emacs Trunk built this morning (August 7, 2014), it is no 
longer possible to set the frame size using pixelwise immediately following a 
call of `make-frame`, or when launching Emacs.

This no longer works on OSX 10.6.8:

    (let ((frame (make-frame)))
      (set-frame-size frame 1894 1054 t))

The following function should be able to work on startup of Emacs to modify the 
initial frame, however it does not work on OSX 10.6.8:

    (let ((frame (selected-frame)))
      (cond
        ((eq system-type 'darwin)
          (setq ns-auto-hide-menu-bar t)
          (set-frame-position frame 0 0) ;; must come after 
`ns-auto-hide-menu-bar`
          (cond
            ((and
                (= 1920 (display-pixel-width))
                (= 1080 (display-pixel-height)))
              (set-frame-size frame 1894 1054 t))
            ((and
                (= 1920 (display-pixel-width))
                (= 1200 (display-pixel-height)))
              (set-frame-size frame 1894 1174 t))
            ((and
                (= 1280 (display-pixel-width))
                (= 800 (display-pixel-height)))
              (set-frame-size frame 1254 774 t))) )
        ((eq system-type 'windows-nt)
          ;; (w32-send-sys-command #xf030)
          (set-frame-position frame 0 0)
          (cond
            ((and
                (= 1920 (display-pixel-width))
                (= 1003 (display-pixel-height)))
              (set-frame-size frame 1876 940 t))
            ((and
                (= 1920 (display-pixel-width))
                (= 1123 (display-pixel-height)))
              (set-frame-size frame 1876 1052 t))
            ((and
                (= 1280 (display-pixel-width))
                (= 723 (display-pixel-height)))
              (set-frame-size frame 1250 670 t)))  )))

Thanks,

Keith
