Yes, that's a known "malicious" behaviour of emacs; afaik it does not 
properly respect the size it is given according to the ICCCM. You can 
also make it fit by resizing the split a pixel in some direction 
afterwards. But you could add an item to the wishlist for a workaround 
for this.

Yes, "no decorations" does not work in Orion, yet. Imho, that would be a 
"bigger wish", if you want to add it ;-)
