Bug Description

Unity now exhibits another regression. When I start Emacs the window comes up full height and 80 columns wide as it is configured to do, should do, and always has done until now. But now, immediately after starting, the window shrinks vertically by one line at a time until the window is exactly one line tall, jammed at the top of the desktop. I can resize it manually to be full height though.

Also, creating a second Emacs window causes that window to be *too* tall. It's bottom falls past the bottom of the desktop.

This only happens in Unity 3d. In 2d, Emacs comes up fine.
