False alarm, it seems, I forgot I had a font setting in my .emacs. With 
that font and that geometry setting I get a 68 lines frame window and 
the emacs covers the entire screen vertically, excluding the start bar 
(which is what I want). I guess the default font is a bit bigger so when 
I request 70 lines worth I get a window that is too large vertically for 
my resolution.
