But what do you do when working on different OSs? As far as I know
there is no ~/.Xresources file in Windows? Until you mentioned the
flickering I didn't even notice it... ;-)

So customizing ~/.emacs.d/init.el with

  '(tool-bar-mode nil)

seems a fair option.

As far as I can see there is no way of putting startup fonts and
geometry in an init.el file that will work with all OSs and
resolutions by default. Please advice me if I missed something
obvious. Currently all my emacs config stuff is in ~/.emacs.d/ and
under version control. And working fine using multiple workstations on
Windows and GNU/Linux (even with windows snapshots of cvs-emacs-22 and
linux-cvs-23-xft).

Cheers
