In my WM (Awesome WM), I always see a small gap below the maximised emacs
frame. The gap disappears when I set 'frame-resize-pixelwise' to 't.

The intermediate frame size seems to be the way Awesome WM handles newly
created windows. First, the window is being created without respecting
the tiling layout. Then, the window seems to be resized according to
layout.

Best,
