I'm sorry, I had forgotten that I've been using a GTK+ build of emacs, 
which I'm testing in preparation for the upcoming release of emacs 23.2. 
  My advice works for that build, but not for the current emacs-X11 
package, which was built with Xaw.

What if you just use a smaller font, for instance by putting the 
following in your ~/.Xdefaults:

   Emacs.font:  Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-9
