Re: gvim: how remove menu and toolbar, but keep original geometry

> except that the 3 lines lost by removing the menu and toolbar are gone, and the remaining geometry is 80x42.

On my KDE I get the behaviour you want.  What's your DE? 

Also, in case there's something in your set up, f.ex. something in the .vimrc which triggers the GUI to start before the setting of guioptions, try

    gvim --clean --cmd 'set go=aeik' -geom 80x80

If that works, you could move stuff around in the .vimrc and .gvimrc to find the cause.  Or, maybe put the set go in the alias.  I get your issue if I use :set lines= after gvim starts.

In KDE, I can force the size of gvim window, and make it larger than the screen, but having forced the size, it can't be changed subsequently.
