That is most definately the issue (the height option). One of the machines that suffers from this issue uses GNU Emacs 21.4.1. I'll check the other machines' emacs version when i get to them later, and post it here.

Kinda weird that nobody else has suffered this bug. Well, then again, not many users of "Desktop Environments" use the "One editor". Maybe i should've posted on Portage & Programming?
