Title:
  gvim does not quite obey "set lines=x" in .gvimrc

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, gvim usually no longer gets the
  right height  when starting up.

  In .gvimrc, I have
  set lines=50 columns=102

  The expected behaviour is that gvim starts up with 50 lines and 102
  columns.

  The column part seems to work fine, but the height is usually a little
  too small. "echo &lines" then says 48. The window sometimes gets the
  right size though (echo &lines == 50), and sometimes a little too
  large (echo &lines == 52). In the latter case, the window reaches
  under the bottom-panel in XFCE.

  I have emptied .vimrc, and I have emptied .gvimrc for everything
  except "set lines=50",  but it did not make any difference. So the
  interaction between options should not be the problem.
