How do I resize my emacs22 window?

Question

I tried searching for answers but can't find any. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and have emacs22 installed:

ii emacs22 22.2-0ubuntu9 The GNU Emacs editor (Emacs 22) ii emacs22-bin-common 22.2-0ubuntu9 The GNU Emacs editor's shared, architecture dependent file ii emacs22-common 22.2-0ubuntu9 The GNU Emacs editor's common infrastructure ii emacsen-common 1.4.19ubuntu1 Common facilities for all emacsen

I find that I cannot resize the outer frame (X window) of the emacs session. When I move the mouse to the corner of the window, it doesn't change into the resize icon.... help!

You can set the emacs window geometry at startup ->

On you panel emacs icon or through the menu editor - set the command to run emacs like this -- emacs -geometry 135x42

See HERE for other ways to do it!

Enjoy your bigger window!

You can set a shortcut (e.g., Super-middlemouse) to resize windows. Go to CompizConfig Settings Manager (or install it if you haven't) and open "Resize window".
