you can use `*scratch*' buffer to modify frame width and height. Use:
(set-frame-height nil 30)
(set-frame-width nil 80)
so you will get viewable frame.
The thing is that you are NOT actually running any WM, so nobody can
correct or control sizes of X clients.
When xwem start successfully you will get ability to control sizes and
positions with your mouse or keyboard. For example `H- - 1 0 0 H-r v'
will shrink height of the xwem frame by 100 pixels. Or `H-x 5 1' will
maximize current xwem frame(and eventually applications running in it),
etc.
