I just resized a gnu emacs window as it was starting up, and the window failed to notice that the window had changed size. I had started it as "gnu -e gnus", and gnus is present as an autoload in my ".emacs" file. It seems, from informal experiments, that resize events aren't noticed at any time during loading or execution of the gnus package. It may or may not be possible to track down this bug based on this information. However, one good way to soften the effect of this bug is to have "recenter" ask for the current size of the window, whenever it is called interactively. We did this long ago with a certain unmentionable editor (still in use locally) because it also dropped resize events, and this change proved to be an excellent heuristic.
