The entire horizontal scroll bar code has been cargo-culted from the
vertical one so any adjustments should probably go the same way.

It's relieving that you have sent a request already.  Unfortunately it
seems normal that this process takes a month at least.  Let's wait for
two more weeks and ask Richard if nothing happens till then - maybe he
can help us speed things up.

I'm quite confident that setting ‘frame-resize-pixelwise’ to t will fix
that.  Some window managers are very strict in the sense that if an
application prefers frames getting resized character-wise, that wish
prevails over the desire to maximize frames to the size of the screen.
