No output from

    $ locate .Xresources

If I run Emacs without an initialization file

    $ emacs -q -g <w>x<h>

or with

    $ emacs -g <w>x<h>

when ~/.emacs contains only

    (setq default-frame-alist '((height . 30)))

it works as expected if h <= 32. If h > 32 (or without command line 
options) the window is maximized.
