My login starts up an emacs with (paraphrased):
/srvd/usr/bin/X11/emacs -f "server-start" -w =80x52-0-0 &
Version info:
------------
tisiphone% cat /srvd/.rvdinfo
Athena RVD (RT) Version 7.0C Thu May 17 20:47:48 EDT 1990
tisiphone% tail -1 /etc/version
Athena Server (RTPC) Version 7.0C Sat May 12 01:15:44 EDT 1990

What happened:
The emacs came up in the usual window, but the emacs program didn't
recognize the actual window size. It gave me a small emacs window
(80x24, I guess) in an 80x52 X window. Exposing and resizing did not
fix the problem until I resized the window to less than the original
emacs, and back again.
What should have happened:
The emacs should have recognized the window size.
Other info:
I just noticed that I'm running the twm from the windowmanagers
locker. I don't know how much this may have contributed.
Since I updated from 6.4, this is only the second time I have logged
in on an RT. The problem wasn't present the other (previous) time, so
I don't know that I can reproduce it.
In case anyone wants to look, there are windowdumps:
/mit/bitbucket/dkk.emacs-xwdump - initial window (after expose event)
/mit/bitbucket/dkk.emacs-xwdump2 - after ^L
/mit/bitbucket/dkk.emacs-xwdump3 - after inconify/de-iconify
