Why does emacs start up small?
5
My emacs is coming up really small, and this is how I'm launching it:
[jah@localhost ~]$ xrdb -query -all
Xcursor.size: 24
Xcursor.theme: Adwaita
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.rgba: rgb
[jah@localhost ~]$ emacs -q
What else besides X resources and .emacs settings could do this? This is GNOME 3 on X on CentOS 7.

Try runningEmacs -Q. If this doesn't help, does-mmstart it as maximized? Could you post your.emacsfile?

emacs -Qexhibits the same behavior for me asemacs -q.emacs -Q -mmdoes, in fact, start maximized. I don't think my.emacsfile is relevant if I'm using-qor-Q, is it? Renaming it to something else also doesn't fix the problem.

This is one weird problem. Maybe you should uninstall emacs, search and delete all emacs folders and files, then re-install.

I'm going to call this my fault. I had forgotten I was running an emacs 25 that I built. There must have been something wrong with the build.

In this case my comment above would have probably solved the problem, so I put it up as an answer.

This problem happens with a locally compiled version of emacs.
The solution to this uncommon behavior would be to uninstall emacs,
search and delete all emacs folders and files, then re-install from the repository.
