I think a good interim solution is to change the default font from
Monospace-12 to Monospace-10.  On most monitors, Monospace-12 is far too
large to be usable (10 is the default in Gnome installations IIUC), and
40 lines of 12-point text cause the Emacs frame to increase past the
height of most desktop areas.

WDYT?
