In that case, I guess if you call (window-total-width 'round), you
will see the correct value even before "C-x 3", right?

Also, what does frame-total-cols return during your recipe?

Martin, I show below a backtrace that explains how face-spec-recalc
causes the frame to be resized, I hope this will help you see what's
going on.

My guess is that immediately after resizing the frame, as shown below
in the backtrace, we get some X event from the window manager telling
us to size the frame back, but we either don't interpret that event
correctly, or delay its handling.  This second resize doesn't happen
on my system, so I cannot show more information about it.

Joost, could you find out where does w->pixel_size change in your
recipe (where 'w' is the pointer to the window displaying *scratch*)?
If my guess is correct, it should change twice: once as shown below in
the backtrace I produced, and then once more, where it changes back to
the dimensions of your display.  We are interested to know where is
that second time, and who calls that code.

One way of finding this out is to put a watchpoint in GDB on
w->pixel_size.  Let me know if you need more detailed instructions for
how to do it.

Here's the backtrace from the code that resizes the frame as result of
face-spec-recalc:
