I just tried that on windows (earlier was vim-gtk) and set lines=500|
echomsg &lines gives 76, but adding your lines code to _gvimrc doesn't
work, with or without a redraw.

:help gui suggests using the GUIEnter event. I tried:

func Autolines()
set lines=500 " over zealous numbers of lines
let &lines = ((float2nr(0.85*&lines)>52)?float2nr(0.85*&lines):52)
endfunc
autocmd GUIEnter * call Autolines()

in my _gvimrc on windows and it seemed to work, lines was set to 64.
I'll try it tomorrow on my vim-gtk on Kubuntu.
