These caps are much better, many thanks.  Maybe they can serve to
identify future problems with the double buffering issue (which IIUC
is at the core of the problems you describe).

I was only bothered by "the frame occupies all the space as if
frame-resize-pixelwise was nil" which is misleading because
`frame-resize-pixelwise' nil implies the frame need not occupy all
space when the workarea size is not a multiple of the base character
size.
