Yes, I think it’s the initial resize that happens and only if my size
is set with (setq frame-resize-pixelwise t). Ultimately that means
that Emacs doesn’t return to the size I want.

I originally set out to submit
https://github.com/aaronjensen/restore-frame-position to MELPA and was
told about desktop-save-mode. If it’s behaving “as expected”, that is,
it should not respect frame-resize-pixelwise then maybe I’ll resubmit
to MELPA in case anyone else wants to restore frame position w/ pixel
precision.

Thanks,
