It certainly does work. One of the changes I saw right away is the width 
of the frame right after startup with my config increased from 84 to 90 
columns. Not sure if it's good or bad, so let's go back to the behavior 
with '-Q'.

The height stopped shrinking.

The width started growing. :-D

I don't know if *foo* is helpful here yet, but here you go:
