We can try:

- Does setting the 'height' and 'width' frame parameter fail the same
  way?  Does setting 'user-size' change anything?

- Are the arguments we pass to gtk_window_resize (around line 1004 of
  xg_frame_set_char_size in gtkutil.c) OK in your opinion?

- Do you see any special messages when running Emacs from a console?

- What does (frame-geometry) return for the frame before and after the
  failed resizing attempt?

- What does (frame-geometry) return when you create that child frame
  right away with the parameters it should have after resizing?

- Can you reproduce Bug#38452?
