*** Resizing frames of GTK Emacs does not work on Wayland running on X11.
This was reported with KDE Plasma, which recently is based on Wayland
exclusively (as is GNOME). The default character-wise resizing of the
frame depends on whether the window manager is willing to process the
hints provided by Emacs; evidently, Wayland-based window managers no
longer do.
One workaround is to customize frame-resize-pixelwise to a non-nil
value. Another workaround is to add a window rule in KDE Plasma's
System Settings (under "Window Management->Application settings for
Emacs->Size and Position") that forces KDE Plasma to obey geometry
restrictions.
Yet another solution is to use the PGTK build of Emacs, which works
better on Wayland.
